rocker ams and push rods

I have been hearing more ticking or clacking noise coming from the engine and I beleive it is coming form the rocker arms. My question is, is it ok to just replace the push rods and rockerarms and not the lifters?
Thanks

Lifters are cheap, why not replace them at the same time. You DO NOT have to pull the intake to do this. A flexable lifter puller tool and lot of patience and they can be bought through the heads.

You can do that?, I didn't think there was any hole big enough to pull them out of?. I'll have to check that out, thats why I didn't want to replace them right now.

Thanks that sound pretty good!
