TPS and MAF info needed

I'm looking to replace my tps on my 87 pathy since the terminals were corroded (now cleaned as best I can) and there seems to be a bit of a tight spot in it even though it seems to work 100% despite this.

 

Here's my question, I know there's a potentiometer (the gray plug) for the automatic transmission and the tps for a manual transmission doesn't have this.

 

Seeing as I just swapped to a manual transmission could I use the one without the gray plug? Also with setting this, do I aim for the .5v at idle? Is there a difference in setting the two different sensors?

 

 

Also does anyone know where I can get the pigtail for the MAF? I've been searching (and probably overlooking it) for most of the day. The rubber boot that covers the back of the terminals has been gone for some time now and the terminals are corroded pretty badly and I've cleaned them as best I could but with me replacing the MAF I'd like a new and totally sealed connection there since it's a pretty critical component.

I got everything clean and I'm reading code 44. So it's all good now. Just need to replace one clip for the CHTS and I'll fill in the back of the maf plug will black rtv to keep future moisture out and problems to a minimum. The idle still hunts ever so slightly but it only appears to be about 50 to 100 rpm fluctuation. I've summed this up to either a warn but still working maf or a still slightly dirty maf even though I cleaned it with isopropyl and a q-tip very gently. It drives much better than before and its not in limp mode or anything
