Returning air intake to stock, questions

I bought my '01 Civic EX coupe w/an Injen CAI installed and would like to convert it back to the stock air intake. How much should I expect to pay to obtain all the necessary components? Can I use any air intake/cleaner assembly off of an 01-05, does it have to be from an EX to accommodate the VTEC? Looks like a pretty straightforward job. Is it just a matter of unbolting the old CAI, and screwing the new components on? Are there any sensors or other components that I should be aware of that would need to be included? Thanks for your help!

Any 01-05 civic I take should work. Check on eBay. That will prob be your cheapest place to get one. I say anywhere for
30-100

You might try Craigslist and see if you can find someone that is interested in your CAI and would swap their stock air system for it.

The IAT sensor is the only sensor you need to worry about. It sits in a hole in the stock air box.

Would that have been removed when the CAI was installed, or does the CAI use it as well? Haven't gotten a chance to really take a look at it.

The IAT sensor is the one located to the right of the pcv hose on the tube. You should still have this in your car. It just pulls out of the tube and when the stock air box is on it just pops in the hole there....
