Take a real good look at the vacuum lines/fittings and injector seals.
The car doesn't have tach, so I have no idea what the warm-up RPM is. Interesting point about it masking problems, though. I've idled it in the driveway for a while already and haven't noticed any leaks, and plan on resealing the injectors when I get at them (have seals on hand). The injectors are under the upper intake manifold, so I'll do those when I do the intake manifold gasket (maybe tomorrow).
