Hi Deshawn

I would use values close to the original, as Codefox mentioned. However, be aware that 30 uF (MFD), 150 WVDC and 40 uF, 150 WVDC are generally not standard values these days.

They may be safely replaced with 33 uF, 160 WVDC and 47 uF, 160 WVDC, respectively.

I would skip the aluminum can and hide the new capacitors inside the original cardboard shell. Be sure you insulate the lead wires really well so that they cannot touch one another!
