Default 90 Throttle body gasket question

I got a throttle body gasket kit, which came with 2 main gaskets. Which is the correct one for a 90, the one with the triangular cut out? I just wanted to know for sure, since I am having an intermittent (more often than not) problem with not idling. I haven't really had a chance to work on the car for awhile. I started having some problems after I changed the CTS and adjusted the valves at the same time. It sometimes idles ok, but when it doesn't, i haven't let it warm up to see if that makes a difference. I have a Delco O2 sensor to install, though thats not the problem w/ idle, because it won't idle before it goes into closed loop, I am getting a code 44, checked for vacuum leaks, can't find any. I have a custom chip w/o EGR, though the EGR valve is still there. Does it need to be removed and blocked?
Thanks!

Which ever one matches the throttle body pattern. Make sure you did not install it upside down.
