Running the car listed above Ls , 305 , Elderblock 1406 carburetor. I’m having idle issues and im pretty sure it’s my IAC valve but I can’t locate it. Any help ?

When driving car rpm is 3,000 and shifting gears at 5,000 rpm's. No I’m not flooding the gas. Light acceleration and the rpm is climbing to 3,000 rpm's. When I let off the gas at a red light it goes down to 1,200 rpm's and fluctuates. Sometimes I have to hold the gas and brake to stop her from stalling out on me at the red light.

Hello, I'm Danny.

I've attached 2 pictures below of the IAC motor on the factory location. I do believe when you replaced throttle body and converted to the Edelbrock carburetor it is now controlled and located on the carburetor. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
