If the wiring is in good condition, and you want to keep the amp meter, use a #10 wire to connect the alternator to the "BAT" wire on the regulator. You can leave the regulator and use the terminal as a convenient place to connect the alternator wire. Or cut and splice the wires together. The regulator can then be removed.
If the wiring is not in good condition, and you don't care about the amp gauge, simply connect the alternator to the battery with a #10 wire. I prefer to connect at the battery side of the starter solenoid to keep the connection away from the corrosive environment of the battery.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
