If you have any doubt, replace them. If the engine is running, you can pull a rocker cover and see if you can find a noisly lifter by slipping a thick feeler gauge between the valve and the rocker while the engine is running. If that significantly changes the sound of the noisy lifter, it's probably bad and you should replace it. Once the engine is torn down, just replace any lifter that's suspicious. Many people replace them every time they tear the engine down.

It's not recommended to change just the lifters. The cam and lifters should be replaced together. To get at the lifters, you can remove the rocker covers and intake manifold, loosen the rockers enough to get the pushrods out, then pull out the lifters.
