Hypo and Hope! (Print Processing)

I'm very embarrassed to post this. I don't want to say it but, for dozens of my negatives which were not agitated as well as they could be, I made some mistakes. I realize them now and I'm asking if I can have any hope. Some of the pictures have already gone onto to some acclaim, so this is doubly important. I'm embarressed because my problem is that for dozens of them, I didn't use a hypo clearing agent, no wetting agent, no 30 minutes in changing water. Nothing, just the final wash which was a minute under a tap, or less, and then hanging to dry. I'm aware that I should have done is use a hypo clearing agent, use a wetting agent, to prevent brownishness coming, and to ensure archival permanence and prevent degradation by leftover fixer/hypo. Am I right there on that one? ANYWAYS, I just need to know, NEED TO KNOW, is there hope of leaving it in a tray with a hypo clearing agent, or whatever, can it be cleaned out months later? I have in mind to fill a tray with a hypo clearing agent, leave it in there for a while, and then go through the process like it had been made just now. Sorry I've been so long. I can't help it, my concern is mountain wide. BTW:Agitaion is improved since then, this is TMAX100 and delta100, and I've improved other areas. I use ID11 1-1, IN-1 stop Ilford, and Rapid fixer Kodak. Tap water.
