So for some reason the new door lock isn't working with the vacuum switch for some reason. I've already searched and found some threads on removing the lock and such, but I can't find anything relating the door lock to the vacuum switch.

Any help would be very much appreciated. I'm hoping to use the car on Monday to get to work.

It sounds like you have a linkage issue.
Check that the lock T rod seated into the latch.

The driver door lock button should not go down with the driver door open.
