I realized that I had made a mistake in my calculations. I would need a 3.045 μf (not picofarads) capacitor to pair with a 33 μH inductor. Thus, I could have a 2.97 μF fixed capacitance (a 2.7 μF in parallel with a 0.27 μF), in parallel with the series combination of a 0.12 μF fixed capacitor and a 100pF trimmer capacitor. The total range of adjustment would be 2.9701 μF to 3.09 μF. I feel that this will be a much more narrow range of adjustment, and resonance will be easier to obtain. I will just need to be sure to get capacitors with low tolerances.
