Then, unfortunately, they have to go, if I were you. You'll regret it in the long run as you run the set over time. If one of those caps is the AVC filter (#32 maybe?), it will eventually cause AVC (read RF/IF gain) problems and reception can overload due to excessive leakage to ground or open up and cause distortion due to unfiltered audio signal modulating the front-end gain at audio frequencies or motor-boating. If they are B+ or screen bypass caps, the set can start squealing.
See if the replacement caps can be shifted to the same point electrically, but in a new/better physical location.
