Glow Plug Replacement
I watched a couple of you tube videos before I swaped out the four glo plugs on the passenger side. They were helpful especially the part about the vacume hose to remove the glow plug. Later I read on a post for replacement to blow out the oil around the the glow plug before removal. The videos did not mention this so I did not. I did have some smoke on first start up but it burned off. Anything I should be concerned about?

I'm guessing you should be fine. You have more oil in the cylinders when you replace the injectors and that's what can cause the engine to hydro-lock and possibly damaging the engine. If you did not have any issues such as resistance to turn over or some loud noises while starting the engine and just had the white smoke you are probably fine.
I recently did mine but was careful to remove the oil around the GP's and did not have any white smoke on startup.
Good luck pilgrim,
