No: you need a tighter level of geometry convergence, so that the two
conformers are exact mirror images. But you are going to a lot of work to
demonstrate what you already know in advance: the charge distribution in the
two enantiomers is going the same. You only need to consider one of them.
If you want to do a multi-conformer fit, you also need to include only one set
of conformers.
