For coupling duty, you do not need to exactly match the value of the cap you are replacing. They really don't even need to be matched between channels as in a speaker crossover. If the ZN is 5uF, a 4.7uF replacement will function just as well.
Avoid paralleling capacitors in coupling duty, either input or output. You will probably obtain better sound by using the best single film cap. It's possible to combine different film caps for line level coupling, but they don't always "add up" the way you might expect, and they might even detract from each other. Takes a LOT of experimentation.
