Kang wanted to have Apoc as his heir, then he proceeded to one-shot him with the diode ray, but that was still a watered down version of Apocalypse. During the pursuit he used technology from the pharaoh age and nothing more, its barely worth a mention besides the fact Kang knows and respects Apoc, so he would surely prepare properly to face him.

That was Tut before even becoming Kang the Conqueror, before any actual war mongering and conquering several timelines, his studies were mostly historical and he surely knew Apocalypse by hearsay (and he was limited in access to his tech, given that he hadn't conquered any worlds); if Apocalypse was the superior back then, it would still mean very little.
