Just remember that an excess amount of amperage because of high load is far less likely in these cars than a fault to ground. If you're not rockin' with a serious audio system, or jacklighting deer, you're not going to muster over 50 amps of load with headlights and a fan. But if you manage to cause a fault to ground on the charging wire you have both the alternator and the battery to worry about.
