Smuggling Compartment takes up your Modification slot, and gives you two things: an illicit slot, and a 2nd modification slot that can only hold an upgrade of cost 3 or less. Both Engine Upgrade and Autothrusters use modification slots, so this doesn't solve the shortage of mod slots. Your YT-2400 would now have two mod slots technically, but one is by necessity filled with Smuggling Compartment, and the illicit slot doesn't equip modifications or have a way to give you boost.

There are only two ships that can pull off Engine Upgrade + Autothrusters: TIE Interceptor (which doesn't even need Engine Upgrade) and Kihraxz (with Vaksai).

BTW if you want a large ship that can equip Autothrusters, take a look at IG-2000.
