Alternator delete

So I decided to try an alternator delete on my 91 festiva.

I bought a pulley from tractor supply and rigged it up so that I can still run a belt without the alternator pulley being used.

I got a v belt from a buddy.

I have three batteries from racecars that I am using for extra amps.

So in total, I have four batteries with a total of 415 AMP hours. With a 60% discharge rate, it looks like I could drive 3-4 hours without headlights / AC / Heater.

Does that sound right?

I'll get some pics and results hopefully tomorrow. I have a 90 mile each way drive to test it on.
