If in veg you can do that, but in flower you'll just stunt the plant's growth.

I can't tell you if you should, because you didn't give info on your lights and space or anything.

If theyre drooping into the soil and forever getting wet then yeah pull them off. Is better to do it before you switch, but can get away with it in the first week or 2 after switching.

If you need more light to lower branches then add in some fluros, dont break off fan leaves or you will get smaller buds.
