Re-capping tuner boards. Safe without alignment?

I am recapping a 2230 and wondering whether the tuner boards P300- MPX Decoder and P150 AM Tuner can be safely re-capped without having to do a tuner alignment.
Here is the parts list I am proposing to use:

I haven't tried it, but have to believe tuner boards can be re-capped without alignment. If they were sensitive to e-cap values, none of them would work 6 months after being shipped. Do not replace anything other than e-caps.
 
GO for it.
I recap (e-caps) on tuners all the time.
Makes them work SO much better.

We replace them everywhere else without re-adjustment and the smaller the cap the more influence it has.
AKA, the small caps cause the biggest problems.
 
the really sensitive crap is in the pf range anyways....anything 1uF or larger - recap in health. in fact, some of those might be for the VCO circuit and after a recap they seem to go into stereo mode easier
