I don't think you can fit a shut off switch to an alternator without  
destroying it.  You can however fit a shut off switch to a dynamo.   The power saving 
is neglible.  Some cars in the UK that are required to run  with an 
alternator strip out all the guts so there is no power produced, no  power loss but 
complies with the (inadequately worded) rule book for that  class.
 
I'm not aware that using 2 Webers has any real gain and even assuming the  
engines makes more peak power that would be more than negated by the weight  
gain.

shutoff  valve on the alternator to
allow for less drag. And we are going to do a  dual weber carb setup.
