just plug them all. question, how did it run before you "fixed" it?

It sounds like the 2 switches you are referring to are Ported Vacuum Switch's.
They are used to only allow vacuum to a device such as EGR when the engine has reached operating temp and not when the engine is cold.The vacuum supply to the switch is from port that is located Above the Throttle Plate(Ported) so Vacuum will only be applied when you are off idle.
Is the Vacuum Diagram still on your hood, if so follow it and be sure all vacuum lines are routed correctly.
Also as asked in the previous post how did it run before you made repairs?
Are you sure that Cam and Ignition Timing are correct?

You said you have THE computer, there are 2 on an 86,you also need all of the Solenoids,Relays and Sensors that mount on the Firewall,Inner Fenders and Strut Tower,The Vacuum Line Harness and Diagram,Air Box and Induction Hoses.Also I assume that the Exhaust will be different and not sure about Trans Bolting up and Engine Mounts.
