For autologin see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Getty#Automatic_login_to_virtual_console
For automatic startx add this line to the end of ~/.bash_profile (if you use bash) or ~/.zprofile (if you use zsh):
[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ] && exec startx
It’s not quite how the installer sets things up, my version is more succinct but has the same result.
If you’re running one of the Korn shells then add the line to ~/.profile instead.
EDIT: use this to check which shell you’re running:
echo $SHELL
