I'm a little concerned about novices playing with capacitors unless they are very careful to make sure the ones already in there are fully discharged. Now the a/c has been long off, so everything has drained down, but disconnecting all the juice for at least an hour ahead of time would be smart. The jolt from a big cap can really wake you up, and not like the nice cup of coffee you just had.
Assuming you are desoldering and resoldering, just be careful not to heat up the surrounding area too much, those little clip on heat sinks can help. Luckily an a/c circuit board is not miniaturized like the ones in our clock radios or whatever.

slept way in this morning, very unusual for us, lulled back to sleep by thunderboomers. The best kind of sleep, curled up together.
Best at anytime together my favorite
