As long as you didn't mix the caps up, and the notches all face forward, it should be okay as long as they're flat top pistons. But, you should pay attention to the big end of rod for correct arrangement of bearing lock tabs and the chamfer areas. The oiling won't be a problem, but the wider chamfers of con rod need to face away from each other on crankpin in most cases. I've taken a few engines apart that had a couple rods in wrong locations that still caused no problem.

Rods don't care what side that they are on. Like said above make sure that the pistons are facing the right direction The the big end should be right too.
