AC&CV Block off plate question

I have the streetable header, and it came with the AC&CV block off plate so all I did was take the nut and two bolts out and unclipped the two solenoid valve wires and removed the AC&CV thing, and then put the plate on, now I have a rough idle and bogging in high rpm. Is there anything else I am suppose to do before I put the plate on or anything to do after I put the plate on?

Did you use a gasket? You have a leak right there.

Spray around the area of the ACV plate with carburetor cleaner or brake clean and see if the idle goes up.

The "little round thing" is a check valve in the passage to the exhaust ports. You can remove it, but you still need to use a gasket or RTV to seal it off & all of the other passageways. It sounds like you still haven't done this.
