Yes, replace all the electrolytics. They are cheap, and good insurance. If the can is topside chassis mount, leave it there for looks and disconnect all the leads underneath. You may need a terminal strip under the chassis to connect the new individual caps.

Stay close to the original value of the electrolytic in the output stage; ditto the one closest to the rectifier. You can go with a higher capacity than original for the final filter for less hum. Use voltage ratings same as original or next rating larger.
