Since the paper caps are not too terribly expensive to replace I would replace them with newer caps, why chance it when they are in most cases under a buck to buy. On the new electrolytics you can mount them underneath if you find space but cut the leads from the old one and connect them to the new one, taking the old one out of the circuit but leaving it for looks if it is an above chassis electrolytic. Or you can check out this link http://www.philcorepairbench.com/tips/svctip46.htm to re-stuff the old cap can.
