Even if you elect to do those last, it probably wouldn't hurt to clip an end of each one loose temporarily and check it for leakage. That'd give you a gauge of their overall condition, and also catch any on the B+ line or AGC* line with serious leakage.
*Actually, "AGC" (for automatic gain control) is a bit of a misnomer in this instance, because gain control is not automatic at all but purely manual via the 'picture' control. It requires you to adjust gain with varying signal strength. It's just part of the charm of these old sets, like riding the gain on an old TRF radio.
