I'd suggest doing a base idle reset , just because the TB was not set to run with your car. Reset is a very simple process and will most likely make your engine run better than just putting it on and running it. It will let the computer better adjust A/F ratio and timing so you get the proper idle and the computer is not trying to make adjustments out of range.

Slap it on, check the TPS voltage, make sure that is correct. Then start her up. Adjust TB screw if necessary.
