Question Pick Guard Removal - An Older Guitar

I used the search function here and read many of the threads on removing a pick guard. But, that leaves me with a few questions.

1. I'm going to attempt this on an OLDER guitar. It is a 2002 Taylor 414. Are there any particular things that should be considered on a 17 year old guitar?

2. I see a hair dryer is suggested. Should you use the lowest heat setting?

3. Naptha is suggested for removing any glue residue. I saw a couple threads where the member used Goo Gone. I have the Goo Gone. Is that just as good/safe of an option as Naptha?

I understand about tan lines, it's being replaced by a custom wood pick guard, so that's not an issue.

Thanks.
