Exporting/Importing Site with Data Services linked to an object

I have a somewhat unusual situation. I am currently developing a Siteforce site in a developer edition org with the plan to eventually export the site and then import into a production org of a client. A couple of the Siteforce pages will make use of the data services.

The question I have is if the object referenced exists in both the developer and production org, will the object remain linked correctly after the import or would I need to re-setup the data service elements? The setup would be quick to accomplish as it's not that complicated. I am leaning toward completing most of the development, importing the site into production, and then doing the data services part of it to avoid rework and save time.
