Most of the scenarios state that such "are available if the year allows 
them." Yes, both sides gets them for free.

Annex #6 is the overriding section here. I note there that swapping out 
an A-Admin for an A-MRS does still cost 8 points.

You may do so through the mechanics posted in the campaign rules 
regarding swapping out attrition units. e.g. compare the cost of one of 
the fighters to be removed for the cost of the EWF. Pay the difference 
in cost with COs if the new fighter is more expensive. Pay nothing if 
the new fighter is cheaper.

There are costs associated with converting a fighter into an EWF if 
there is none noted. I believe the cost is 2 points (to get it as a 
two-seater. Note that the load-out changes for EWFs.)

Yes. You would use the cost of the EWF (as listed, or as above) as the 
basis for your calculation for adding the megapacks.
