Off the top of my head I would have to guess that they probably will do no harm if simply left alone. But let me offer this advice. I am unsure of just what kind of access hole or hatch you have to the bottom of the compartment containing the parts but I can highly recommend a tool which unfortueately I do not know the name of. When I was little I heard it called a frog, but I seriously doubt if anyone would know it by that name. For lack of a better term I would simply ask your local auto parts retailer for a "flexible parts grabber". They are about two feet long and the main body is coposed of a rather flexible cable with a retractable insert not unlike the throttle control of a lawnmower. They have a button and finger hold on one end and on the business end there is a retractable 4 sided claw made of spring steel. When you press the button the claw comes out and if placed over any small part and the button released--it will quite firmly hold on and you will be able to removed the part. They cost around 5-10 bucks but beleive me, they are WELL worth it. Don't let some dumb parts counter kid tell you he's never heard of one and doesn't know what you are talking about. Make sure you talk to someone who has a clue. I hope it works for you, but if not the tool is worth it's weight in gold. I can't remember how many times I have retrieved parts, nuts, bolts and springs that had fallen somewhere often in a precarious location and could not be reached with any other means.
