Default 1980 differential steel sleeves

I need your help! I have a 1980 corvette and i have the rear differential out. I'm almost ready to put it back in. I have one question i need answered. I saw somewhere that if you install poly bushings in it for the carrier, you must knock out the steel sleeves that were in it from the factory. Is this right?
