[LOTR/Conan the Barbarian] Boromir place in the fellowship is taken by Conan the Cimmerian, how do events deviate from Canon?

Does he fall sooner, later?

Would Arnold's Conan have a different effect to the character in literature?

Conan never betrays the fellowship, he fights strongly and proudly with his comrades in arms.  They face every challenge head on, cutting through great swathes of Orcs, Men, even the Balrog falls by his might.  

However, due to the more aggressive posture of the fellowship, everyone else in the party dies over the course of the journey.  

- Gandalf dies in Moria as before, but it occurs in open combat in order to give Conan the opening he needs to strike a death blow.  He never comes back from the dead, this isn't that kind of story.
- Half the party (Let's say Gimli, Legolas, and Pippin) is killed by Saruman or his forces when the fellowship breaks into the evil wizard's tower and slays him.  Pippin gets killed from looking into the Palantir instead of just getting a bit unsettled.
- Frodo dies after being bitten by Shelob.  Giant poisonous spiders have lethal venom in this story.  Samwise picks up the ring at this point.
- Since Aragorn and the men of Gondor aren't distracting Sauron at the Black Gate, they fight a running battle all the way to the slope of Mount Doom.  Aragorn and Merry are killed in the dead marshes, Samwise makes it all the way to the base of Mount Doom.
- Sauron himself, inexplicably having a human body in this story, shows up and kills Samwise before turning his attention to Conan.  True to form, Conan slices the evil wizard in half.  He then picks up the ring, overcomes its influence through sheer force of will, and hurls it into the lava.
- Conan and a beautiful princess they rescued halfway through Mordor fly off on the eagles.

I imagine this is how it would go with both literature Conan and Arnold movie Conan....
