How did you remove it so far? Just rip the loose stuff or did your try paper remover and steamer? I removed 3 layer of waper (first layer installed circa 1967) using a combination of remover and steamer. Amazingly, it all came off with a bit of elbow grease, with minimal scarring to the drywall. A little bit of skim-coating and the wall was ready to paint.
Good luck, but I think you should try to remove it....
So far I used one of those wallpaper alligators, a putty knife, and fabric softener mixed half-and-half with hot water. It has come off pretty easy. There is only one layer of wallpaper. I was concerned about damaging the drywall.
I used a product called Diff when I had to remove a couple of layers. I was pretty nervous about pulling it down since it was put up poorly in the first place. It worked great and I had no problems at all. Hope that helps!
