It's not specific for powerlifting.
If you are preparing for a meet, I don't see any advantages in exchanging Squat, Bench and Deadlift for Clean and Press.
However, if you are off season and in volume phases, you can have a more non specific type of training.
Think clean and press has its place in powerlifting training?
I personally love them. My wrestling coach had us doing them in highschool and always came back to them.

If you want to prevent shoulder injury while benching then overhead press.Absolutely not. The law of specificity........in other words........if you want to get good at the squat bench press and deadlift, then you have to squat bench press and deadlift. The clean is done with the weight more on the toes. The press.....powerlifters don't do anything over head so you are putting the already stress out shoulder from heavy bench press training at risk of injury. Powerlifting is done with the weight on the heel so the bar travels in a line closer to the center of the body. Only do assistance exercises that follow the same plane of movement as your core lifts.
The only exception would be if you plan on including repetitive movement exercise (8-12 reps) to increase hypertrophy. If you are wanting to increase speed (force production) use rubber bands with your core movements and do about 40-50% of your max (10-12 sets of 3 reps). That way you are assured the gains will directly transfer.
