Holy Christnuggets!! Those vacuum pipes are METAL! Wow. That must have cost you one vital organ... I'd kill to have a set of those. LOL!
I love the place you put your EGR solenoid. Mine was assembled where the edge of it was nearly scraping on the belts! I might have to look around for a better place for it. If yours works, then... wow. I'm pretty sure it wasn't designed like that...?
Also, it looks like your injector harness is on backwards!! It should have the connector facing the thermostat housing, not the distributor... I dunno if it's just stretched over there or what. Also... it might have done you some good to check out those injectors and make sure they were OK... my engine was running crappier than hell with one injector being borked up (missing its needle in the tip). Check to see if they all have their needles if you're not too far into it 
Noticed your new head gaskets looked one metric ass-ton better than mine do... yours are blue, mine are... black. What kind are they and how many children did you have to sell to acquire them?------------------
'87 Fiero GT, Automatic, 153k miles, stock everything, just trying to make it all work again. :D

luckily, the gasket set was a donation...
and the SS vaccum lines were one of the FEW things i let myself spend $$ that i needed on... $130.. but theyre hard to find, and break easily.. gotta remember, this is a MASSIVE budget/free rebuild as i am B-r-o-k-e!

why do you need a 6MM socket? if your trying to connect the wiring harness by the battery, for some reason its a 1/4" socket or 6.5MM dont have a clue why GM did that, but i always use a 1/4" 6 point socket on it and it fits fine.
