lacking power

My '91 2.3 n/a CD is acting a fool. Very low power. I'd suspect a 0-60 time of about fifteen seconds (watching VW beetles fly past...). I can smell it running rich, and the plugs confirm it. The idle is a little rough from time to time, which I attribute to a broken PCV grommet in the valve cover.
Plugs are fairly new, DI is fine, brakes aren't dragging, bearing are all okay. Latest repair was a scrapyard manual trans, new clutch, pressure plate, slave, clutch line, pilot and throwout bearings, about 4000 miles ago. Air filter is clean. I'm going to check/replace the following:
-fuel filter
-o2 sensor
-catalytic converter (could be clogged. may just weld in a straight pipe)
-AMM
-vacuum lines
-clean the throttle body
What am I missing? MPGs are horrible, no doubt from running rich and a heavy foot to compensate for low power.
