Oh and if by any chance you even had a rough estimate of what it may cost me to take it into a machine shop that would be awesome

Yep, no coolant makes its way as far as the throttle body. Just vacuum lines. The original plastic fellers love to dry out, and become very brittle, to the point that giving them a hard look will cause them to disintegrate.

So I finally ended up getting it all apart and back together... now my only problem is getting these two bolts tightened down that gold the manifolds to the rest of the exhaust. Any tips on getting them back together?

Are they just too far a way for the current bolts? Not lining up?
