Here is a short video of the idle and a couple revs. The spray at the end of the video is the water pump gasket blowing. 
At least it is a simple fix.
Enjoy!

Thanks! I was hoping for a little longer video, but with it running lean and now a leaking water pump it got cut short. My phone also does not do the sound justice.
I want to add that the long cranking is because I am running the fuel pump off the pressure switch.

Thanks for the compliments! I sent a short idle file from datamaster to Alvin at PCMforLess to see what he says about running the car. If it is safe I am going to tune by running it around town and then send the datalog and chip back to Alvin. It probably wont be on dyno for actual numbers until spring.
