If you have a GM chassis then the colors of the...
view full answer... - Should Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs be Deflated if the Front is Lifted by a Hoist
- I took a look a the instructions for the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Front Axle # F4100 and the only warning listed has to do with the coil spring.

So as long as they will still be restricted by the coil spring there shouldn't be any issues, but you could deflate them if you want.
I have attached the written instructions for your reference.

The two smaller terminals are for ground and an ignition source (something that only has 12 volt power when the ignition is turned to the on position). It does not matter which is used as they can interchange.
Pollak states to mount the solenoid in an enclosed area but DO NOT install in the engine compartment.
