In most cases, I have replaced the ceramic tubular and plastic tubular. Sometimes the ceramic tubulars might get left in there if there are no apparent problems.
As far as 60's electrolytics, I generally replace them with the thought I will likely watch the set on a somewhat regular basis. As you pointed out, there isn't much room under there and it's somewhat of a pain to find a place for them.
I did, however, leave all of the original lytics in the 15 I put together last year. I left them in there because I noticed they all ran cool. If any run warm, they should likely be changed out. For the most part, my 15 plays well. However, it usually needs to warm up for 5 minutes for the color to come in and the brightness to come down to a normal level. I might change some of them soon to attempt to correct this if I can't find any other apparent problems.
Also, if you see any oozing black stuff coming out where the connections are, you should likely replace them.
