Keep in mind that it may be running poorly because it is either too rich or too 
lean. If the charging system is not working it will be too rich. If the little 
short hose to the pressure switch is not connected it will be too rich. If the 
hose to the pressure sensor is not attached on both ends it will be too rich.

Make sure you have enough ATF, and that the vacuum modulator hose is connected 
on both ends. It might also just be a shift cable that is misadjusted, or it 
could also be a problem with the lever on the end of the shift shaft, inside 
the AT. This came loose (weld broke) on Greg's 69.
