You want to clean off all coatings on steel before welding, as a general rule. It would be best to fully weld it as its no extra effort, but a massive disaster if the IVA man decides it needs to be fully welded once your car is complete.
Edit: Thinking about it, just a couple of tacks on the lower ones should be sufficient as its just to make fitting easier. The upper ones need fully welding
