On the MAF, you can use it if it is from a 94-95 GT. the CAI you can not use. the intake inlet is in 45 degree bend towards the front of the car as well as down slightly as where the fox is 90 degrees from the front of the car ans in not bent down.... confusing i know.

Just to be clear, you would use the stock 94-95 MAF-housing and 94-95 MAF-sensor as a pair. You cannot mix and match the sensor and housings.

Yep.
All Mustangs in 94-95 used the same MAF housing & sensor combo...

The stock 94-95 V6, GT and Cobra MAFs are all the same.

You do need to use an adapter. There is a thread floating around,

I am using a 94 gt maf with the adapter and the stock air box and tube setup

Or instead of using that adaptor, you can just use a dremel and grind down the square end till it fits on the stock fox hose piece. I've seen a few people do that. As for the sensor itself, I think you'll need a plug adaptor for that. I think those have the square shaped plug while the Fox has the oval plug. Wires are in the same exact order, just the plug wont snap on. I've been through hell trying to find a stupid sensor that will fit my 92. I can't even find the plug adaptor. JY's wont part with the sensors. It looks like I'm gonna have to break the bank and pay the $100 bucks for a new one.
