Default Ancho chilies vs. Guajillo chilies

I am going to make a 1-whole chicken recipe (that calls for 2 ancho dried
chilies in making the sauce, but I only have on hand guajillo chilies. It
also calls for 2 canned chipotle chilies; the only two different chilies in
this recipe. I don't think the recipe will be hot as it also calls for a
slice of bread and 1-1/4 cups of peanuts.

I don't feel that substituting the guajillo's are going to make a
significant difference in this un-tried recipe. Any comments saying I
shouldn't substitute?
Thanks.
