Seems to be some debate about which side of the battery to install the disconnect switch on. For my particular case am I ok installing the switch between the hot negative terminal and the starter?

Just add a fuse to the starter terminal for a simple disconnect - lift one side of the fuse. But the battery disconnect switch it is best placed on the ground side instead of the hot, for the reasons mentioned above.

Your battery is probably due for a replacement, but a small smart charger/battery maintainer might keep it going, and they don't cost very much. I just bought 2 on Amazon to keep my two "standing" cars charged up.
