There is no such thing as

install chart B, after the A is up and running

right now in helm.

It will just template and feed all the resources you have in your chart and in all it's dependencies to k8s API server.

You can take a look at Chart hooks and Chart tests - maybe they will be useful for solving your problem.

You can read more about the order the resources are applied in Helm install in certain order
