Yes. When doing a basic recap, I leave mica and ceramic disc capacitors alone. They're more reliable than other types, and in some circuits where they're used, replacing them may force an alignment that wouldn't otherwise be needed. The article referenced earlier has photos & descriptions to help you identify different capacitor types.
