MY CAMARO STARTED TO RUN ROUGH. ANY HELP PLEASE

My 1988 Camaro TBI is starting to run rough. i took off the air management when I put headers on it. It has full new exhaust. I know the car is running a little leaner now that the air management is off. So maybe that could be a problem. I installed a rebuilt racing 700r4 a year ago. Has about 1000 miles on it. The engine has a little over 200,000 miles on it. Nothing done to it. Just oil changes, cap and rotor, e3 spark plugs and wires ect... Idk why it is running rough all of a sudden. The wires are in the right spot. Vacuum lines are good. I’m sure... way less power. Felt the engine running rough when I gave it throttle. And when I come to a stop it feels like its going to die. I took of the rockers and took out the pushrods. None were bent or had flat tops. They were just corroded. Could it be a valve? I heard a ticking noise so I thought it was a rod. But they seem fine... I’m thinking valves. Any help or advice would be great thank you
