Yes, definitely. Firstly, it is better to corner balance and align a car as close to the way it will be driven as possible. So with the driver in the seat or an equivalent weight there, plus maybe 1/2 tank or less fuel, all the extra stuff out of the interior, race wheels and tires on, etc.
As far as changing the alignment from left to right, that depends on the specific track and driver. You usually figure this out by measuring tire temperatures, but if you were on, say, an oval track, obviously you would want more negative camber on the outside wheels.
