No, don't do that. Just turn off the firewall at startup.

chkconfig --level 12345 iptables off

will turn off the firewall at all runlevels.

Make sure you have no other firewall servers and do the same for them.

Then, when you are comfy with the setup. You can turn them back on
[chkconfig --level 345 iptables on].
