Default To replace or not to replace injectors

I'd like to get your input on 2 different opinions.

I have an 88 with 63k miles and have taken off my plenum and runners and had them bead blasted. Now that I'm ready to put them back on I am wondering about my fuel injectors. Should I remove and replace them seeing that I have it all apart anyway ...or.....should I go by the old adage, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I haven't had any problems with the injectors up to this point. What do you'all think?

I probably can find one. I'm in the Ft. Lauderdale area.That would be a good idea to do and it would make sense becasue I don't want to have the additional expense of replacement if I don't have to.
