Fuel pressure check is a great place to start (and a fuel pressure regulator is a lot cheaper than the AMM). While you're in there, look very closely at the plastic air hose from the AMM to the intake. A lot of them get holes worn in the outside from rubbing against the strut tower. You may have to take it off and hold it up to the light to make sure. Another item to check for vacuum leaks is the intake manifold gaskets... but a car with that problem ought to run lean, perhaps hesitating.
A really good check of your computer and AMM is to try your parts in another, happier car, and see if you can duplicate symptoms. The shop may be unable or unwilling to try this... don't know what to say except perhaps try a different shop. You wouldn't be the first person to have a driveability problem with an 89-up 240 engine computer.... that's why they're expensive.
Good luck!
