Unhappy 98 camaro z problems

Just got a 98 camaro z and it has a few issues car is stock with egr block off plates truck throttle body conversion??" 3200 stall and built 60e my problem is that the car sometimes when coming to a stop when I hit brakes it idles up to about 1500 and when I stop it'll sit there trying to pull then all of a sudden it drops to 800 and is fine. Also when I'm going down hill and I let off the throttle it acts like I'm still on the throttle..it most of the times converter lock up in 4th but some times not. And sometimes when cold you start it up it acts like. Old school car with a really bad carb and idiling super low like 3-400 then u get it to where itll go and a few mins later its fine. car has loads of power and all also Car was supposed to have a tune on it but I'm doubting that now I hooked the scanner to it and get the following codes

P0405
P0412
P0418
P0108
P0405

Should I just not drive it until I'm for sure it's tuned or what?

P0405 is the egr valve
P0412 is the AIR Solenoid relay circuit
P0418 is the AIR pump relay ciruit
P0108 Map sensor high voltage


It has not been tuned You need to get it tuned before you go any further in diagnosing it.
