When you examine the negatives, are the spots on the EMULSION side, or the base side?
If on the emulsion side, there is not much that can be done, unless the deposit was recent. On the base side, they might be removable with a good film cleaner even after many years with some patient soaking.
I'll pull them out later this evening and get back to you. I copied them a couple of months ago and put them away as I copied other pictures. I'm just working with files now (reversing the RAW files made by my camera with the Color Perfect Photoshop plugin.) This is my retirement project, by the way, copying or scanning every negative I have and sorting through them. I've done about 8,000.
