Default Alignment after removing steering rack?

I need to replace my tie rods which = alignment. I'm contemplating heads+cam and/or replacing/pinning the harmonic balancer (got a little wobble). Since the steering rack has to come out, is an alignment necessary afterwards? If so, I will do it all in one shot. If not, I'll replace the tie rods first.

Since an alignment deals with measurements/settings dealing with fractions of a degree, I would do it all at once.

I did mine after a cam install, well worth the money.
