Default Fuel injector question

I have a 2009 LY6 in my Chevelle and it won't be started for some time I am assuming. I don't get alot of time to work on it. I was wondering if installing the injectors would be an issue if they sat for a few years. Anyone have an opinion? Yes I know that's an opening for almost anything.

Shouldn't matter whether they sit right there, or in a box.

"I was wondering if installing the injectors would be an issue if they sat for a few years".
Depending on the makeup of the lube, that was used during the manufacturing and flow test, they could be locked up.
Leaving them capped and zip loc bagged may help.

Not a big deal, as they can be freed up and will work fine after. As Old G said, in a bag might help, but I'd add; include decadent and keep in the house rather than the garage.
