First question, why do you think you need it?
The need for one is to "soft-start the A/C" when running on a small generator.
That's the whole purpose of the Micro Air Easy Start. It starts up the cooling fan first, then after a delay it starts up the compressor.

If the factory cap dies while the AC is running, it will stop and no harm is done. If you have a hard start cap installed, it will allow it to keep running and it will destroy the compressor. So if you don't need it, don't use one.
So what are you saying? Don't use a factory cap and don't use a hard start cap?
Your post is confusing because it implies you need one (a cap) but then you say "if you don't need it, don't use one."
The Micro-Air is neither a factory cap or hard start cap, so I'm not real sure what your cap point is about.
