87 SPG running poorly

Today I finally got the 87 SPG I'd hauled home months ago to start. Car had been stored since early 90's. Fuel system was drained & cleaned. I've replaced both fuel pumps and filter, cleaned injectors. It sometimes will start nicely other times stumbles some before catching. Checked AIC continuity per Bentley manual, it's OK. Fuel pressure is in spec. Temp sensor measured slightly out of spec so replaced with new one. Once running seems OK at higher RPM but a little ragged at idle. Smells rather rich. Check engine light comes on immediately. Seems marginally better but not right with AMM disconnected. Ignition side checks out ok with good spark, fresh plugs and timing OK. Any suggestions?
