Message If you need the shortest route to tap into the A/C compressor and ignition use the wire going directly to the compressor clutch and I can find out what the closest ignition wire is for you just pm me.

As for making your Z run bad I recommend against an electric fan as well for 2 reasons:....
(1) the stock alternator on the Twin Turbo is a little beefier, it puts out ~90amps @ peak the N/A only puts out ~80 @ peak so your TT alternator MAY be just fine supporting the additional draw. In the N/A on the other hand you might be pushing it and on top of that with the lights on, the A/C blower, the window wipers and especially if you have a sound system. It MAY carry it for a while but all the extra load will most likely cause your alternator to fail prematurely.
(2) The engine bay of a Z gets HOT and a TT engine bay gets even HOTTER. Sure the electric fan will probably keep up with the engine's heat (or not depending on weather and how much HP you make) but you have to realize the stock fan is always blowing and electric only turns on once in a while. So now all the hot air in your engine bay will linger and the rubber and plastic inside gets damaged and leads to problems down the road.

*disclaimer*: all that I say may be true or I may be completely wrong and I accept that.... please, it is your duty as another person on the internet to tell me (in-politely) how wrong I am :)

This is what happens when you leave your Z parked outside too long:
