Condo A/C problem, A/C dummy at the helm!

The A/C wasn't cooling very well so I had my A/C guy come out and check it out. He says it is a bad compressor. After he left, I did some reading online and several people say that sometimes it is a bad capacitor. So, I went to pull the capacitor so that I could check to see if it is good or bad. Only one problem; I didn't photograph or use marking tape to mark where the wires went. I need to reinstall the capacitor and need some help. It is a dual capacitor with three connectors, HERM, C and FAN.

Inside the unit coming from the compressor there are three wires, Yellow, Red and Black. Coming from the Fan there are three wires, Brown, Purple and Black.

On the outside of the unit where the wires connect to the capacitor there are two small gauge blue wires coming out of a round black cylinder that says, "110W 260W Single Phase something thru 5 HP". Then, there is a large gauge Yellow wire and a large gauge Brown wire. Also, a medium gauge Red wire is present. All five of these wires were connected to the capacitor before I pulled them off. Smart, huh? I must have been delirious from heat stroke when I pulled them off. Anyone have any ideas which of the three terminals these wires connect to? Thanks for any help, it is hotter than hades and me needs to cool off...
