Potentially, sure... but odds are, the car will rust apart before then. Just keep it sealed up when you are done. Don't let moisture and crud in there, so loop that line solid as soon you are are done. If you don't pull the fluid, you are gonna push the fluid between the two cylinders through that looped line and it will cause resistance. Pump out all the fluids you can and the little bit left at the bottom should help against corrosion and keep the piston lubricated enough.
I had it this way with my Neon for quite some time. When I rebuilt the engine, I pulled it apart and took the piston out to remove the last bit of potential resistance. The insides looked just fine.
