OEM: 100MFD 330V, had 100-120MFD start capacitor no longer manufactured.

Can I use 56MFD 330Vac + 46MFD 330Vac in series? Will I get the same drain/fill curves the same amp output?

(i know augmenting run capacitors is "ok" like 5MFD, but unsure if splitting the whole thing 1/2 on start capacitor is "ok". this is for preventive maintenance on 2011 unit - just avoiding compressor damage by replacing caps before they fail)
