Yes, if you are reusing the original gear and pinion, you PROBABLY won't have to reset the pinion depth, but NEVER assume ANYTHING any time that you R&R the carrier!
ALWAYS check the pattern and the backlash and set it up correctly. Have shims on hand and be prepared to set up whatever is in need.

It SHOULD go without saying that shims and caps should go back where they were. THEN you can check pattern and backlash.
It's not good enough to get the caps back on the same side, they MUST go back into exactly the same position. It is best practice to mark the caps position and the case with punch marks to ensure that they go back exactly as they came apart. This is done exactly the same way as are main and rod bearing caps in an engine.
