I don't want to touch the stall converter subject, as I am a manual guy.

The C&L will use the factory MAS, which is the black sensor on top the MAF.
If I had it to do over I would go with at least the 76mm from C&L

I put a 76mm C&L on a few weeks ago, super easy install, and can tell a difference.

76mm MAF and 70 mm TB, what is the inlet size on your intake? cause that will be the deciding factor if its needed

I have a C&L 73MM MAF and it was simple to install. Remember you need to specify the size inj. you have when you order it. I did the MAF, TB, and intakes at the same time.

^+1 thats the correct way to do it, you need to upgrade intakes, MAF, TB all together or else your just pulling in a ton of air your intake cant take in.
