The only reason to record both guitar and vocal at the same time is if it is the only way you (as a performer/player) can do the best job. Some players can't play consistently without also singing, and vice-versa.

By recording guitar first (you can try doing it in 'stereo' with the two mics), but instead of tracking to one stereo track, send each mic to a separate mono track, then you can play with panning and EQ and level of each separately in the mixing stage.
No reason to record vocals in 'stereo' - even if you used both mics, the sound source is a point (your mouth) so mono.
