Not an Atlas, but I have a 1960 Model 50 that I added a Podtronics unit on back around 2000. Pretty simple job. The alternator wiring is straight forward and do as you described. Red goes to ground (doh). Black is the DC feed to your system. Connect it to the battery. The rectifier is gone, so eliminate the wire to the lighting switch. The lighting switch connects this wire to the alternator. Eliminate that too. Be certain to mount the Podtronics unit in the air stream. I mounted mine to the underside of the tool tray.
