Default Removing magnets after cam install?

Once the new cam is in can I just pull the magnets out without having to worry about pulling the lifters up out of the retainers? My magnets are rated at 3.5lb and I know the lifters don't weigh that much. Will the lifters bump into something as I withdraw the magnets keeping the lifters from coming up all the way out of the retainers?

I'm pretty sure you cant remove the lifters without taking the heads off, so I would assume they do hit something.

Just remove the magnets. The lifters are held in place by plastic retainers, they won't hit anything.
