I do not see the need, if the clamps are new. I think I remember seeing that as well, (it's been seven years) and I cleaned it off the cover, making sure my new clamps were tight - and yes, I put new clamps on.
Now, as to the valve covers, I have heard of some guys going back in six months and finding the bolts were loose and setting them to 5-7 lbs and things being OK after that.
