The idea of the series capacitor and inductor is that the capacitive reactance was still a bit higher than the designers liked so they changed it into a resonant circuit but with broad enough tuning that the reactance would drop below that of the capacitor alone in the frequencies of interest. If you are replacing the capacitor with a film cap, the inductance may not be needed.
