Carbon frames -- prep BB & HT?

hey, all:
i've got a carbon frame on the way to me, and while i've dealt with plenty of carbon on road bikes i've not dealt with a carbon frame for a MTB.

this bike has a press fit bb. i'm also going to install an angleset.

with aluminum, i'd make sure the bb cups and headset cups had a healthy amount of grease. is there any difference in pressing these cups into a carbon frame vs aluminum?

on my road bikes due to the particular bbs and headsets, i've not had to press them into the frame.

thanks!
