If I do not hook up the "S" from the alternator, it won't hurt anything, correct?
Correct. With no ignition light you do not need to hook anything up to the I terminal on the regulator and you do not need to connect the STATOR terminal from the Voltage Regulator to the alternator. Just feed the S and A terminals on the Voltage Regulator with fused power. A year or two ago we had a very nice thread about the need to "excite" the voltage regulator through the filament of the ignition light. You don't have to worry about that; I only mention it because it was pretty neat and I fished out my old automotive text books from the 70's and posted some of the pages.
