I figure, even though I'm using all new spokes and nipples, I'll save myself trouble lacing the wheel by taping the new rim to the old wheel and removing the old spokes one by one, then placing the new spoke in the new rim at the same spot from the same direction. I just need to do that 72 times.

Then tighten them, tension and true them, stomp on the wheels, re-tension and re-true, give up and take them to my LBS who said he'd be happy to fix whatever I mess up help out.
The majority of wheels that I've built have been 32 or 36 spoke. When I rebuilt the wheels for my Holdsworth that are 20/24 (or 28, can't remember) they went together so quickly!
