Default Code 33 and Code 34

My engine in my '89 started running rough on idle and shaking a little.
I pulled codes 33,34. First error codes I've encountered since owning this car.
Is there a simple way to determine whether the issue is with the relays or the MAF?

If it is the MAF, has anyone tried a Spectre MA-157?

Never had to deal with either of those codes, so all I can add is some info from my manual.

If you follow the procedure above and find it is the MAF, its good practice to replace both relays along with it.

I purchased two used known good relays (always good to have a couple lying around).
So, time to get to work (while I'm fixing my right headlight, the coolant drip, retorque my aluminum trans pan )

Well, it wasn't the MAF. It was the relays. Codes gone. Car running fine.
