As a frequent EWR flyer, I'd say you have a 80% chance of not catching your connection.
With a bad monorails and decent security lines ..and flights that seem to arrive a tad late to the gate ...and outbound flights that close their doors too early... the time gods just aren't operating in your favor. I'd say nearly a full hour is minimum safe connecting time between A and C. But eh, at least you won't have any bags to worry about.
If you can take an earlier flight in, do it.
