89 5.0 TBI stalling when coming to a stop

Hello, it's been a long while since I posted here, or even had a camaro. It's time to get one again. I found a sale of one for cheap and everything. But the owner says it stalls when coming to a stop. What are some possible causes of this or common problems? I'm thinking maybe the IAC, or vacuum leak? chime in, thanks!

If everything else is decent I'd say its the IAC. You can clean it with a special cleaner. I never have luck with that so I did the mortal sin and bought one on eBay for like 20 bucks for a off brand part. Popped it in and that solved my issue. Will it last. That's to be debated.

Also check to see if the ses light is on. Moderate vacuum leaks with cause a lean condition and flip a light and you can usually hear them while its running
