Default Power Question

I have my Intake manifold, fuel rails, water pump, throttle body, intake, valve covers, and radiator out of my car. I need to put power on my car to roll up my windows. Can I do this or will the fuel pump come on and start spewing fuel everywhere through the quick disconnect for the fuel rails????

As long as you don't turn the key to the run position, the fuel pump won't come on. Pulling the fuel pump fuse as suggested would be your safest bet.
