For AACI you want to maximise AA above everything else so the absolute best setup for AACI on her is 20.3cm (No. 3) Main gun, FuMO25 Radar, 90mm Single High-Angle Gun, 25mm Concentrated Deployment AA gun. Put her in as flagship for higher AACI chance if you can as well.

With that main gun she'll only single-hit during day battles but that hit is still strong enough to smash an enemy destroyer or light cruiser. The 90mm gun counts as a yellow gun for night battle too so you've got a double attack setup going, which given that she's still a pretty strong CA (her stats are still quite competitive despite the AA focus) can be extremely helpful.

You can run her like a normal CA if AACI isn't necessary but I think you'd be better off working another CA up to high enough levels to do that sort of job if you haven't already. She's not bad by any stretch but AA is her niche and she performs best when allowed to do that. Others like the Myoukous (esp. Myoukou herself) are better general-purpose CAs.
