Nah it doesn't sound like you are interfering with the existing vent
so don't expect a problem there.
Code however calls for a 2" drain for showers but for the life of me
with all the low flow showerheads in use I doubt you really need more
than 1-1/2
I just built a tiled enclosure on the same sized pan mostly because
the big box couldn't find a set of fiberglass walls that were not
cracked.
