Same answer as always with these things: if you have old install disks, you can run them, choose custom install, and only add the plugins you want. I've just checked, and I've still got it working in X3. Not sure what version it came from, but definitely X series. Indeed, from memory, I think it might still be a non-default install option in X3.
Quite apart from that, though, Amp Sim was appalling, and I highly recommend going cold turkey and getting it out of your life. :)
