Default sohc zc into 89 hf. runs like crap because of extra egr vacuum hose. what to do??

i swapped a sohc zc into my 89 crx hf, and i can't get it to run right. i have the ectra egr vacuum line because the zc has no egr valve on it, and i was told to just plug it up, but when i do that, i have no throttle response. now, the wierd thind is, when i plug the vacuum line into the intake where the map sensor line is supposed to go, it runs almost like it should be, other that throwing a code five, overheating, and burning rich. please, anyone who has done this swap help me, i've been working on this thing since last year, i stored the car for the winter, and its time to get this crap figured out.
