I would definitely replace all caps...you should get better performance even if it is working, and it is just a matter of time till those old caps short out or have excessive leakage and damage something else. If it is a transformerless amp, a power line isolation cap could short out and leave the chassis "live" with 110 volts. Paper and electrolytic capacitors degrade over time.
