Default A little AC help

I'm getting a D&D fatcat and want to add a new AC as well. I believe that upgrading the AC is considered stage 1 (Maybe?), my bike is carbed. What is considered to be the upgrade for the ac? I see Arlen ness AC's for around $200, is this all I need to upgrade the AC and get a little boost? I understand that I have to rejet the carb, is this just a simple pop out the old jet and install a new one? I'm a little unsure of the whole deal with AC's, I hate the football and want to have a simple round cover.

How much power can I add with the exhaust and AC?
