Yes, it's a good idea to let the threads soak in penetrant for a while, but not so long that it dries out. I believe penetrant is formulated with a mild acid. Once it does its job it should be cleaned.

Ditto on PB Blaster (also Kroil).

Definitely put a light coating of antisieze on the threads before installation.
