Does alignment settings change if you just change out the front sway bar?
It depends.

If you change the sway bar and have adustable end links and you follow the post I wrote above:
* there will be no preload on the bar and you will be fine. That is assuming you did not have a preloaded sway bar on the car that you removed to install the new one.

* If the either the new or the old bar is preloaded you will change the corner weights on the car which will change the alignment.

What scales are you using to do the corner balancing? Do you have access to an alignment rack, or are you using some sort of at home/DIY method?

I use a set of Long Acre Racing proffessional corner weight scales. I use them on a floor and level the pads to each other.

Like these but an older version:

If I was to get a new set I think these are the ones to get:
