A/C wiring question

The new motor I received has a 7.5 Mfd capacitor bolted to the side of it. It appears to me that I should be able to wire it direct to 115. It has run that way on the bench drawing .9 amp running with no load.
If I understand this correctly the black capacitor (88-108 mfd) functioned as a start capacitor for both the compressor and the fan motor. The thermal interrupter only controlled that cap. The silver cap (20+7.5 mfd) functioned as the run capacitor for both the compressor and the fan motor. I am unsure of how to wire the remaining two capacitors and the thermal interrupter in to the compressor. Would there be a problem with wiring new motor (and its 7.5 mfd capacitor ) in with the existing capacitors the way the old motor (which did not have its own capacitor) was? That would then provide a starter cap and an additional 7.5 mfd cap to the new motor which it may not require or tole
capacitors in parallel are like resistors in series so that motor would have 15 mfd of capacitance. should be with in +10% -20% so just put 110 v to that motor. the 88-108 mfd is start capacitor for compressor only
