Any electric guys know this?

If I wanted to see how many amps the 12V side pulls I would obviously turn
on everything I could***, then grab a DC Ammeter but what wire
would I put it around, the 12V #10A wire at the ALT ?

I can provide a schematic if needed.

***
Hazards on.
Dash Fans on.
Work lights on.
Dome Light on.
Heater on high speed.
Headlights on high beams.
Accessories plugged into my 12V accessory outlet and GPS and phone plugged in w/ low batteries.
Have the wife hit the steering wheel horn, cigar lighter, and put it in reverse w/ the backup alarm on when ready.

Did I forget anything?

TIA!
