If alternator belt removal is too harsh (totally understandable), then how about a ON/OFF switch on the alt's field wire? Only partially reduces the load on the engine, but much safer. Of course, only works with non-self-exciting alternators.

At those speeds any aeromods will bring noticeable benefits.
