temperature sensors/sending unit("T")

I am installing electric fans. The only place to install the sensor is in the thermostat housing, which has the sending unit for the guages. The only other location available is in the intake manifold, under the distributor module. I plan on replacing the distributor in the future to rectify this problem. In the meantime, I am using a brass "T" in the thermostat housing to accomodate both sensors(fan switch, guages). Is there a problem with this, ie degraded temp. readings, etc.?

I have a similar intake manifold...that location is unusable without purchasing another(different) distributor.
