srI VikhAnasa maha gurave nama:
Vishnu swamin, Krishnamachari swamin,
I would like to keep this email short as this topic has been already discussed.
The Lord narayana is workshiped through the two VaishNava Aagamams ( PaancharAthra and VaikhAnasa Aaagamams ) with their own specific traditions and Vidhis. Each of these two aagamams have their own uniqueness. It is the long-observed rule that those who follow one of the two aagamams are not eligible to use the other aagamam. This is a strictly observed restriction .
As we all know SrI VaikhAnasa Aagamam is followed in Tiruvenkatam venkatesa perumal koil. rAmAnuja sannidhi was added later to this temple by the influence of pancharatra's.
My understanding is that when the temple is constructed as per SrI VaikhAnasa Aagamam, there must not be any Acharya or Azhwars beyond dwajasthambam. Only the supreme diety Lord is the rulling king there and thus he alone should be workshiped. In VaikhAnasam at every door dwarapalakas are different. At first door of garbhagruha ( sanctom sanctorium) are Manika(male) and Sandhya( female) they are wife and husband. they don't have gada in hand but kunchika ( key to open the door) and at every door dwarapalakas are different. Vikhanasa Taapasa, Kishkindha Teertha, Pushpesa sreebhoota and so on.
All ritual are followed as per the 8 samhithais of SrI VaikAnasam (Marichi works). Srivaikhanasa Bhagavat sastra is of vedic in nature & pancharathra is of tantric(?) in nature. I feel your question can not be answered as there is nothing written in Sri Vaikhanasam on how to perform Kaimkaryam for any Acharya or Azhwars sanidhi beyond dwajasthambam.
dasoham,
Jayaraman.

clarify. It is true that according to strict Agama SAstra-s (both
pA'ncarAtra and vaikhAnasa), the priests of one Agama are not
supposed to perform the priest functions for the deities consecrated
according to the other Agama. But violations of the SAstra are
widely prevalent at least in some of the U.S. temples.
