WinkyDink, I've never immersed a set to clean it. I use brushes, compressed air and windex on a paper towel on Bakelite sets. Sometimes Q-tips to get into little grooves. But I'd not immerse a set that has an antenna or intact label inside. Far as labels, go ahead and cover any that remain with wide clear packing tape to preserve them - it's quite acceptable in restorations. If someone can't ID the set's model number in the future, it's really hard for them to get schematics or service it.
If it were my set, I would not take a glued-in antenna out. Just clean the area as I described above.
