Yeah, typically you get far better results when you pull the stock exhaust mani and get a header. My signature (click for link) has the info you're looking for.
As for being a point. The over-engineering involved in the emissions system can lead to overcomplication when troubleshooting, and introduce more problems than necessary.
Many times a rough idling car will purr once the rats nest is gone. I know because I've been there

I followed pratch's how-to and it works! Though I did not keep the solenoid he mentions since I removed the A/C also (long dead) and are only a couple of discrepancies in it but nothing that was a show stopper that I couldn't figure out myself.
The idle is smoother, no backfires, and seems to have more acceleration now too.

Yeah, now that I have an 82 to work on, I may update the tutorial to show the differences between the 81-83 and the 84-85. No promises, but as long as I'm gutting the 82's nest it shouldn't be a problem.
