hooking up a 3 wire power cabl

[chuckb]

I have an older amp with a two prong cable. I removed the two prong cable and I'm about to install and tree prong cable. I have the green wire going to ground, wire the white and the black coming from the power tranny together. That leaves me a black tranny wire and a black cable wire. I have one on/off switch and a fuse terminal to connect to. So with the remaining wires do I jump the switch and the center tab of the fuse together and one black wire from tranny to end of fuse and the other black from cord to the on/off jack?

Colud I just bypass the groundswitch altogether?

sure....but it's nice to leave it in place and use the switch terminals (as shown) as connection points

Regarding the grounding capacitor, since the chassis is now grounded via the green wire, why the need to remove it? in the unlikely event it shorts current flows to ground.

I realize it does not serve any purpose since the chassis is now
grounded...or does it?

Remove the cap to ground.
It is not rated for what it is being used for.
The correct caps are rated to open upon failure.
