Its prolly the water temp valve for the 2nd butterflies. there are no electrical connectors in that area. redo the vacuum hoses and see if itll idle better

That's the Water Thermo Valve for the double throttle diaphram. Air will suck at it's end when the water temp is above 140 degrees. See your local, online, free FSM and it's FUEL SECTION for non turbo cars for verification.
If the Double throttle diaphram is kaput, like most double throtte diaphrams I've seen, then I'd block off both vacuum lines going to the Water Thermo Valve (actually only the one that feeds vac needs blocking off).
The NOT ONLINE SERIES FOUR FSM shows the above on page 4A-57. I'm sure the online one on another page says the same.
