One reason for the alternator is when using an electric fan as these require some 40 or so amperes.

Stay with the generator after a 12v conversion if you have no need for extra juice.

That's my uneducated opinion. As my engine is still on it's way with a chrome alternator installed. We shall see what we shall see once it's in the car.
