You shouldn't have to, provided they were correct before, then they will be now. Just align the timing marks.

I would either pull all the followers out of the heads or turn the cams so all the valves are closed or you could bend valves once you start to rotate the crank when your reattaching the rods to the crank. And than like stated already just line up the timing marks and you should be good to go
On a side note you are using new bolts on the mains and rods?
