I have to ask the obvious question, as I think I might have missed 
something here...

Why remove the plate current meter?

If just for the extra bit of output you get, remember.

"Power is nothing without control"..

There might be a better place to wire it in, so that it won't affect the 
tube bias as much as it might now.  Not knowing the schematic, I can't 
say for sure.
