Default Question on different sizes of IAT sensors

I recently installed an LS7 air filter assembly on my LS1 in my Studebaker.

I'm using my 3 wire MAF inline with the air filter assembly. I would like to put the IAT sensor where the opening was for the LS7 MAF on the side of the air box.

The existing LS1 IAT is too large for the opening. Does GM have a compatible IAT for the LS1 that the IAT housing is significantly smaller? If so, what is the model it is from, or the part number?

Can I just put a compatible thermistor itself in the air flow?
If so what is the thermistor part number?

Do they make a 75mm MAF with IAT, I thought that was with the 85mm MAF 5 wire?

I don't want to have to tune for a 85mm MAF at this time.

Looking for a simple IAT solution if someome knows of one.
