Since the adapter is goikng to have the same slot number, the fc ports shoule be the same... i.e. 3a, 3b, etc... the wwpns, being logically appliad from the wwnn, should come back as before, but the kb you reference is a good backup in case they don't, or you want to change the cabling to use differenc fc ports. you should be good to go.
