Umm... IIRC the pacesetter does not have an O2 sensor attach point - did you leave the O2 sensor out? If you did, it won't run well.
You can get an O2 sensor "bung" (yes, that's what they call it) and have it welded into the header (or even behind the header) for probably $30-40 bucks, maybe a little more. Luckily O2 sensors are cheap. You may have to do a little wiring if you put it too far back.

02 sensor is not used at idle. Did you knock off the vacuum lline for the Boost/pressure sensor while installing the header????????? Or any other vac line in that area like the one to the cruise control??? Knock off any of the two vac lines that go to the acv????? The vac lines at the water thermo device on the aft end of the throttle body???????????? Knock plug off the pressure/boost sensor???? Leave one of the clamps on the intake duct loose???

Deffinitely sounds like a knocked off vac line somewhere. If the only change was a stock manifold to a header, your idle should not change. Getting your hands down in there is preaty tough with the stock manifold on, I think I pulled a few off when I changed mine.
WOW! remember the stock manifold ...
