I'm going to delete the AC compressor from the engine accessories, move the alternator to it's place, and delete the mechanical fan and replace it with electric ones.

This should remove some parasitic drain from the engine. Right? It's a big engine - 4.0L inline-6. So it might not help as much as it would on a small engine but it can't hurt that's for sure.
