I may be saying something dumb now - but how about switching the alternator by a contactor and pressure switch in the throttle house?
Before the engine turns over there will be no vacuum and the alternator would be switched off.
When it starts running it draws a vacuum and the alternator gets switched on.
When you floor it (WOT) it switches the alternator off again - you need the extra few HP then or you would not floor it
