It's highly unlikely that a 330pF capacitor will need replacing and it certainly isn't the grid coupling capacitor.

Confusion has arisen because the two service sheets being used have different component designations. This is hardly surprising, as component designations are largely arbitrary.

As far as the manufacturer's sheet goes, the cap you need to replace is C31.
