although most of my MCC was flown on autopilot
Avoid doing that at ALL TIMES!! It's all about
basic flying skills these days at the sim evaluations! Procedures can be learnt to any normal ATPL CPL guy. I see recruitment going even back to single engine cessna's for skill selection tests instead of waisting expensive sim time!
Use the time to the max, you will have paid for it anyway - mention it to your instructor - the CRM/procedures thing is just a formality, you will learn that in TR training later on.
Worked for me but depends very much from the instructor.
