I agree that connecting the sense winding to the alternator's output will work and is the easiest way. It just emulates a 1 wire alternator.

If you wire it that way and then check voltages to ground electrically further away in the wiring harness you'll probably find that the voltage is 1/2 to 1 volt less than at the output of the alternator when heavier loads like A/C and headlights are on.
