Hi Christian:
I'll throw my 2 cents into the ring. Anything on the engine that rotates uses energy. You can save energy by decreasing the weight of anything that rotates, or making the thing that rotates more efficient so it requires less energy to power it.
But, to remove the fan, and replace it with an electric fan that cools your radiator, is a huge step.
The plus side is the electric fan will cool the engine at idle far better than the engine fan.
The negative side is the cost, labor involved, and how long until you realize a return for your work.
Myself, I would recommend you make sure your current system is working properly, the radiator is not corroded, and stay with what you have.
