Two electrolytics simply connected back to back do not make a NP cap. The center pin has to be biased as otherwise you still run AC voltage through two polarized caps. In case of this motor, which is (did not look at the sch but sure it is the case) decoupled via any DC bias through the transformer, you do not have any suitable voltage to hook up to, so the two caps solution won't work.
But unless I am mistaken, the cap is across the secondary winding of the motor which may give out low voltage. Why don't you measure it first.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
