Default Sensor help!

Hey guys, got a question. So I just took my car out for a drive after installing a b16 head on my LS and it ran pretty good considering I'm just learning and researching as I go. I'm throwing 2 cels: 1) IAT sensor, forgot to relocate it oops! 2: TPS sensor, this is the one thats got me stumped. On my ls intake mani the sensor sat right on top and on the b16 intake mani there is no spot for it, just a vacuum port which I just hooked the vacuum line straight into. What should I do? Any help is appreciated Thx!!

all thats on the back of the b16 im is the iac valve and a small vacuum port which i'm told by another member is just for cruise control.

TPS is throttle position sensor, I think you are referring to the MAP sensor. You may have the plugs swapped as they are the same connector:

That EVAP purge, you won't need it if you are OBD1
