Of course you realise that the output impedance of the ATU will be the complex conjugate of the impedance at the rig end of your feedline. However, if you want to know the impedance of your antenna, you need to realise that the feedline is acting as an impedance transformer, and you need to take into account factors such as length of feedline, frequency of operation characteristic impedance and velocity factor of the feedline, etc..
