Would elec fan affect A/F ratio that much?

Greetings, I'm running a RAmJet 350 with a 730 ECM. Yesterday I finished installing an electric fan...which replace a mechanical fan which did NOT have a clutch.
My a/f ratio appears to have changed quite a bit...does that make sense? It appears that I'm going to have to start all over on my tuning now...if that is the case.

Re: Would elec fan affect A/F ratio that much?

Going from the mech to electric fan shouldnt make a huge impact, from the couple I have done.(meaning tune would be fine either way, might notice a little bit of change and that would be all)

However doing one that had a vehicle with marginal electrical system and it was much more apparent.

MAke sure the wiring and alternator are up to snuff and then work from there before u waste time chasing your tail.

If it had a heavy duty clutch or the orig GM(in 100% working) order, u would see a bigger diff as well.

later

Re: Would elec fan affect A/F ratio that much?

I buffed up the electrical system first. I've got a CS-144 and it maintains voltage just super...I'm quite impressed with it, since I had a 94 amp 12SI before.
I need to figure out my TPS voltage....I'm having problems getting my TunerproRT to connect with the ALDL so I can't get a reading on the computer..I'm pretty sure it's way off now. Any idea how to get a reading off the TPS with digital multimeter? If anyone has an acceptable range of values that would be great also.
