With a motor powered by 60Hz, does the cap see 60 Hz? Is it a sine wave? If so I may be able to measure the cap value in circuit with a DVM, an ammeter and a simple calculation.

RE: start/run capacitors
I'll qualify the 'yes' statements by assuming that it is a regular motor fed directly from the mains without any form of speed control.
