You can check the run-out without removing, If it is in spec, your good to go, if not than you have to pull pins, align and ream the pins oversize. Nothing lost by NOT pulling it. Nothing gained by pulling it when it is in spec, other than a little easier to pull the input bearing. If you pull it, you need to check, if you don't and there aren't any symptoms or complaint that would make it suspect, easier to do on the engine side. Trans side you have pins and the bearing retainer, so more likely to be fine, unless you are swapping bell housing halves.
