New Update:

Swapped the AFM boot and now the car will not start up.... I am not sure what the problem is.... Damn finicky EFI system!!!! :/

Replaced Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder and Bled the lines... clutch still is not engaging so I guess it is clutch time. (woohoo?) 

I guess this is the Z life? lol.

I had to ask the smallest girl I knew if she could reach up there and attach the vacuum line. Ten seconds before she arrived I managed to slip the line onto the water cock.

"line onto the water cock" ;) mhm

 

But, honestly there is not any room up in there!!!

Check your AFM plugs.  Something might be loose.

 

Clutch:  it may be that the little pivot the fork sits on needs to be adjusted, when you look under there and have someone step on the clutch, how far does the fork move?

Checked the AFM Plugs they appear to be connected (they do not snap just kind of sits) [all of my plugs are like this, AFM TPS, Injectors] 

 

The fork moves about 1/2 to 3/4 inches when the slave pushes it. I have pictures on my phone but I need a new battery to get them off.

Hmm does the clutch feel like it's disengaging at all?  a 3/4 inch is pretty close,  might just need to adjust the pivot like I said.

 

Try pulling loose each of those AFM plugs one at a time to check for corrosion and to verify fit.  Aside from that, check your distributor lines especially the coil. Verify you have power on the low voltage point on the coil.  Then check for spark at one of the plug leads. (usually I use an old spark plug, and plug it into a lead and leave it on the valve cover so I can see if it's sparking.   If you have fuel and Spark, then it should run right?  You didn't mess with the timing so it's probably not that.
