The outside capacitor assists both the compressor and the fan motor. On my unit the symptom was the outside fan not running (I don't recall if the compressor was running or not).

The inside capacitor starts the blower fan that moves air through your house. When mine failed (bad luck this year) the outside unit was running and making the inside unit cold but the inside blower fan was not moving any air through the house.
