Integrated tube amp as amp only


My Jolida 1000rc has a main in so it can absolutely be used as an amp only. My question is can I take out the preamp tubes and move them to my tube preamp. They use the same 4 tubes. Turn on the Jolida with the pre tubes removed while using it as an amp only? Is it safe? Or do I need to order another 4 preamp tubes.

Just gonna order another 2 sets to get the Jolida operational and move it down the road. 

Didn’t work. Didn’t blow up either so that’s good. Must need the preamp tubes installed either way for sound to come out. Anyway now got the tube preamp hooked up to a benchmark AHB2. Sounds really damn good so far.
