Default Homebrew tuner

All,
I am planning on building a "T" antenna tuner. ---Series Cap--Shunt
Inductor--Series Cap--
I scrounged up an old 5KW RF deck (FREE!!!)
It has 2 large caps (1 is much larger and has 2 ganged section) and a 10
turn tapped inductor (air core).

My question is:
Would I use the larger cap at the antenna side of the inductor or the
receiver side?
Does it make a difference?
I plan on using an alligator clip on the inductor until I can establish some
useful positions, then I will install a multi-position switch.

Thanks for any assistance,
