Do I need to do anything to run VA KT66's in a super reverb?  
 
I thought these were straight drop in replacements.

my take on it is that you just have to re-check-bias...

I've used the VA KT66s in a couple Super Reverbs and a Top Hat head.  
They sounded real nice but I think they draw a little more filament current... a few hundred ma each more.  
Other then that, go for it but use a few more ma of idle current... maybe 38ma to 42ma.  
 
go here for a KT66:

and go here for a 6L6GC:
