Aftermarket heads

91 Z28 350 TPI
If I put aftermarket heads, intake manifold & carburetor on...
1. I will need a different distributor right?
2. Will the radiator fan come on when I turn the a/c on?
3. Will the radiator fan come on when the coolant sensor by the thermostat calls for it?
4. Will the radiator fan come on when the coolant fan switch in the right head calls for it?
The reason I would get rid of the TPI is don't' know enough about it, I can't tune it. I can tune a carb.

Re: Aftermarket heads

Why not look into the self-tuning fuel injection systems like Holley and FiTech?
