While I certainly don't want to talk you out of buying LEDs, with a game like Addams Family you can get at all the GI bulbs from underneath. It took me a few games early on before I realized this: get a magnetic quarter-inch hex driver and you can pull out sockets from underneath, replace the bulb, and put the socket back in. That is much easier than removing plastics and ramps all over the playfield. (Although the TAF playfield pivots upwards but doesn't slide out, which means it's still hard to reach the GI sockets in the back.)

That said, if you're removing ramps already, it would definitely save you time. For most games, you don't have to remove/disconnect switches to ramps, just remove the screws that hold them and you can shift/lift the ramp enough to replace otherwise difficult rubbers. The rubbers to the left of the pops in TAF are a real pain.

That said, when it's time for LEDs, reach out. I just overhauled my machine.
