Heat shield replacement -- just screw/bolt onto old?

So my father was in a Saab shop getting some parts the other day and he was talking with them about our impending replacement of the heat shield on my '89 900S and they mentioned that they don't bother to go through the hassle of even removing the old heat shield anymore. They just screw or bolt the new heat shield right onto the old one and maybe add a screw or weld a bolt on to the body itself if they think it needs extra securing. Has anyone done this and would anyone advocate it? I just don't really want to disconnect the exhaust manifold and have to deal with removing all those interior items (seats, rug, console, etc) if this simpler way will work.
TIA,
Tim B.
