The other caps are perfectly fine.  There is nothing critical there...

I would also put a 15 amp fuse (maybe 20...;-))) at the 15/60 
transformer...  There is on odd saturating mode that might hurt the tranny 
that the fuse will protect against.  With the filter and fuse, blowing the 
tranny should be darn near impossible!!
