That would cause problems. When they mention the "spray test", don't use starting fluid or WD-40. Your best bet is some carburetor cleaner. For a short term test, if you can do it without destroying the boot, wrap some vinyl electrical tape (other choice: duct tape) around the boot and see if it runs better. If so, then your hunt for new airbox-to-carb boots is on.
Glad you got it going. Nice feeling, isn't it? If I weren't helping my wife's buying and selling business, and swapping the front shocks on my truck, my Shadow would have been out there. After a cold and snowy winter, it was 70 in central Ohio. Warmer weather is coming.
