I'm a user of conflict catcher and recommend it. It's possible to do the test by hand, but that takes a lot more knowledge than it once did.
Conflict catcher allows locking certain necessary extensions in place, is savvy about extensions that work as groups, and has a very complete database full of information about the extensions, how to obtain fresh copies, etc. Well worth the bucks, in my opinion, if you'll continue to run OS 9 for a while.
