Clustered SQL Server shut down for third-party application install

Dear Sir,
If I needed to install something to the active then passive node one by one
and required to restart the server serveral times during install, what is the
procedures if I don't want SQL Server to auto startup during reboot?
Steps:
01) Offline "passive" node from cluster admin.
02) Shut down "passive" node server.
03) Offline "active" node SQL Server Group
04) From OS Services, change SQL Server to "Not auto startup"
05) Install application
06) Reboot active server
07) ....
Is the above procedures ok?
Please advise! Thanks!
