If I'm planning on doing an overhead set, would it be worth pulling the injectors out and taking a look-see?

Another thing I forgot to mention was when it first started smoking I was driving for about eight hours so the engine was at normal op temp.
The next day when I started driving again the coolant temp was maybe around 120 and still smoked.

Doesn't seem to do while idling and really only does it while under load when I'm accelerating...

With it that old, you had best pull a vacuum on the coolant system if you want to pull out an injector, and plan on replacing o-rings at the very least. It is very easy to develop an injector cup leak after pulling an injector on a head that old and worn out. Pulling a vacuum on the coolant system before loosening the injectors helps prevent this.
