Can 8i exports be used to resurect a database in newer versions of Oracle ( 9i 10i ...)?

We do not want the ability to have a perfect database but for Legal Audit reasons we want to be able to at least say we can get the old data
( transactions and sales information ) without getting into trouble.

If so do we need the table creation scripts or does the import create the tables for us.

Again we are only interested in the data inside the tables not the whole functional database.

I assume that the file backups are useless unless we actually have a running Oracle 8i DB?
