Yes need to change out z end stop for a probe of some kind and change the firmware either with the anet -l firmware or switch to marlin (better choice)

i recommend using a screwdriver and level it manually

Short answer is yes. The A6 uses the same board as A8, so you can google anything to do with A8 except for the bracket to hold the sensor. You can find the brackets at thingiverse like this one. Anet A6 Autolevel Sensor Support 18mm by jgbbob8 - Thingiverse. I will suggest to use 12mm or 18mm inductive proximity sensors. The firmware needs to be flashed with either SkyNet3D or Marlin. Here is a good explanation of how to make it work. Autolevel for the A8 Anet 3D Printer [3DPrint.Wiki].
