OK, I don't design PSU's, so check for yourself if you really want to be sure. However... there shouldn't be any capacitors on the incoming AC. What would be the point? Capacitors smooth out changes in voltage, and the transformers need that smooth sine-wave signal coming in from normal AC.

I've never seen a capacitor attached to the incoming AC voltage lines.
