Are you sure those were Mica Caps?

Micas rarely need replaced, you should also replace Mica with Mica, not Film Caps and never use a lower voltage that what was in there.

Some caps that look like Mica aren't really, there's a way to tell by the color coding but I'd have to Google to find the chart.

Pretty sure the AES chart is a misprint, a 2.2 Mf 2000 volt Ceramic would be huge, you also don't want to use Ceramics to replace Film or Paper Caps in most applications.

2200Pf would only be 0.0022 Mf

Here's a Pf to Mf converter, it works both directions actually.

Even a 2.2 µF cap wouldn't be a ceramic disc.
