Alternator Delete, method 1 & method 2

When performing an alternator delete, there are 2 primary ways of doing so.

#1 is to remove the alternator from the vehicle, alternator , pully and belt.

#2 is to leave the alternator in place, pully belt and all and you simply disconnect the wiring from the alternator so it will freewheel and not generate resistance.

My question is, when performing method #2 wil the freewheeling alternator still create substantial enough drag to make #1 the preferred method?

I don't know how much drag is caused by a freewheeling alternator and belt and I'm trying to get an idea.
