Lower and alignment weight changes?

Going to do some suspension work on my '79 SC, including shocks, torsion bars, bushings, then lowering, alignment and corner balance. Currently I have the stock bumpers, but my future plans include replacing them with fiberglass. If I have the alignment and balance done with the stock bumpers, will the change to lighter fiberglass pieces later on require another alignment etc. due to the weight change? Can I do a simple (I assume minor) ride height adjustment later without requiring the complete re-alignment?

I removed all the stock exhaust, heat exchangers etc. and installed Bilstein HD fronts and Sport rears. The ride height increased by about an inch, so consequently I am concerned about the weight of bumpers having an effect on ride height.
