3.1 Fuel Injector help

I pulled the fuel rail to replace my injectors today and found a lot of trash/leaves/dirt under it. I plan on vacuuming it out or using compressed air to blow it away. My question is what happens if some of the debris happens to get down into the intake? I've attached a picture

When the top is cleared you can direct compressed air into the intake. Should blow any (at least most) debris out. But cover your eyes!

Thanks. The new ones are in, and the car runs and idles fine. However when I parked it I saw smoke coming from the Catalytic Converter. I think its time for a new one
