That's how mine works.  I have the Mack and an STec 50 AP.  It holds
altitude as long as the trim is close.  However I have had no problems
trimming for level flight without the AP.  Of course, unless in calm
air, things soon change anyway.  The main change is flying through areas
of slight updraft, then down.  That changes speed which in turn changes
the trim requirment.
