Hi Charles
I have done this stain many times as an abbreviated version of Movats
Pentachrome.
You are correct in thinking the van gieson will affect the AB stain due to the

hour to convert AB to insoluble Mona
Just curious, why not do a Movat’s Pentachome? It gives you everything you are
looking for and more.
