The first pic is of the EGR valve.

Did you fix that vacuum fitting for the PCV? That would give a vacuum leak and cause an erratic idle

I've seen a sticking or carbon clogged EGR valve causing a motor to die when coming to an idle. I pulled the valve off and cleaned with carb cleaner/tapped on ground to help dislodge the carbon and re-installed and motor ran fine.

make sure to use a thread sealant on the threads, whether it be teflon tape, teflon paste, silicone, etc

Agreed with the thread sealant. You can test your fittings to make sure they're air-tight if you have an air compressor.

The second pic is of one of your AIR (smog pump) air-solenoids.
