Then your starter/solenoid or possibly your battery or cable or connections are bad

I also did a Swap on my 89 to a 93 KA... Mine did the Clicking Sound also..

Make sure your Battery is FULLY CHARGED and that you Ground your battery correctly.. put some extra grounds just in case

It will Click if its not grounded correctly...

Check all your grounds for sure.

thats usually what it is, especially if you had a working body harness.

double check.... try strapping the ground to the body... Grind the paint down to the metal first/ maybe where the 3 bolts for the shocks go

are your headlights dim? best way to check is by using a Multimeter for Ohm resistance ....

i think i have all vaccums taken care of the main one over the engine then the ones for intake right? and if i get it to start and stay started log enough to give it throttle it will take and keep that but when i let off it shuts off and its got a new iacv and if i adjust the idle while its running i can get it to a good idle but then it still eventually dies out

Are you sure you have the fuel lines on the right way?
Not trying to be an ass, I've seen it have a few times before..

nah man reasonable enough my buddy said that too but i switched them still nothing you can hear the pump kick on but nothing comes out submerged in like a half a tank but nothing if i blow through the lines manually gas shot out so they arent clogged lol

i actually unhooked all fuel lines and blew through them none are clogged pump is a brand new walboro submerged in 3 inches of fuel and can hear it prime when the car turns on

Unhook the fuel line from the fuel rail. Put in a 1 gallon empty jug. Try to turn the car over a few times and verify gas is getting sprayed in jug.
Are you sure your battery is good and it's charged?
