Injector cups installation with engine upside down

I am replacing the oil pan in my 2000 7.3 and have the engine currently upside down for the next 24 hours. Question is, can I install injector cups while it is this way to save more time in waiting for the 620 loctite to setup?

Actually, I just went to make sure the ports were still clean and drips of coolant were coming down from some ports. For anyone wondering if you should do this, I would advise against it.
