If you elect to not replace them, then keeping the coolant mix at a 50/50 level, and using deionized or even distilled water will arrest any corrosion that has started.

I was in a similar position a month ago, and realized that it wasn't worth the hassle. The previous owner neglected the coolant system, and caused the corrosion.

I wouldn't try and acid flush and coat the tubes with something, similar to reconditioning a fuel tank, because that may cause more problems than it solves.
