Tony,

Pure supposition on my part, but I can believe the capacitors are 
selected to control the level of oscillation amplitude, so if you want 
to use other crystals, you may have to experiment with the capacitor 
values to retain the 50 uV and 1 uV output levels.
If only the frequency (and not the level) is important to you, the 
capacitors may be optional or not critical.
