Are you asking what you should be checking to insure mono compatibility,
or are you asking about the L-R signal with the sum removed?

I can't think of *anything* you "should" or "should not" hear when
listening to the difference (L-R) signal, since what you'd hear is
completely dependant on aesthetic production decisions.

I guess you should not hear anything you wanted positioned in the centre
of the mix (vocal? maybe some lead parts? bass? kick?), though you
would probably hear the reverb (if any) on the element. You don't
really need to do anything other than listen to the mix for that though.
