its still important to leave evidence as it is instead of making your own judgement. the whole area is closed isn't it, no one should be climbing there. if you're still concerned, go to the first bolt on each climb and hang a warning off it.

if its already been decided that those bolts aren't suitable you shouldn't have to mess around with them to confirm that. if its ambiguous its very important to see if the bolts appeared to be solid when they were placed, ie they were tight. removing them and putting them back in just messes up that information.
