Chris,

Don't count on storing it too long. I have done the same thing but never
gotten around to reinstalling any of them without a complete clean out and
replacing the cartridges. The one additional thing you should do is put
rivets in the outlets of the cartridges. You can get them from MIS:

That's under accessories if the address did not come through.
