I think your gains would really depend on a number of factors too - lot of people pull their alternator entirely (mostly for racing) because the engine still has to drive the alternator even if its not being used and puts drag on the engine.

I played with going alternator-less but I couldnt find a belt that would work and I didnt want to put a pulley in place of the alternator because I wanted to be able to re-belt for long drives (pretty simple matter with the Ford escort if you have a breaker bar - takes about 5 mins)

So..I gave up.
