They are supposed to help stop interferance. If your fine with soldering then it wouldn't hurt to put them on. If its difficult to do for you then run it without them and see if you have any interferance. You'll know very quickly wether you'll need to run them or not.

I've never known a stock(i.e. standard, not a racing 'stock' motor) motor need capacitors installed and like OC says most aftermarket ones have surface capacitors already installed. as it is many fixed endbell motors have a pair of caps installed on the inside which you cant always see.....
