Mixing/mastering instrumentals

Is there anything fundamentally different about mixing a track sans (that's french for without) vocals? For instance... You're sending a track to a songwriter... and you really want them to feel the track so they can really write something amazing to it... Does that change anything in the mix process?
It will obviously be completely mixed after it a song has been written and referenced... The main genre for which I do this is R&B/POP....
Does having no vocal make it easier to raise the overall level? Is that not a good idea??? Brick wall limiting, not permanently.. just temp so the writer can really feel it???
