Well, not having all the sensors and vacuum lines and whatever else you don't have on is your problem. If the car was running, I don't see it having a mechanical problem. Was that what you wanted to hear?

Hey man hook everything back up before you start it. Without vacuum lines the engine can suck more air. Also it needs the sensors to control the idle and mixture. See how it runs put all together.

sounds like you have the ultimate vac leak (amongst other issues with no ancillary components being hooked up). that would cause a very high idle.

good luck with getting it all together.
