Default Changed all fuel injectors and runs rich..too rich

I have a 1994 Chevy Camaro V6. It was running a little sluggish: it would stutter really bad. So I changed all the sparkplugs/wires. Still stutters. Took it to a shop where they said the #5 injector was bad so I brought it home and changed all the injectors. It doesn't stutter anymore but it still runs a little sluggish and it is running so rich! You can smell the gas coming from the exhaust: not to mention I am getting very bad gas milage...very bad.
Any ideas on way it is running so rich? do I need to reset something? you know, that maybe as the old fuel injectors were getting worn and not straying an optimal amount of fuel, so the system compensated somehow and now that needs to be reset?
Just guessing

1994 Camaro came with either the 3.4l or the 5.7l.

3.4 eh? Like, why bother?

Anyhoo.

Either your FPR is dumping fuel into your intake, or your MAF sensor is out of whack. Disconnect your MAF sensor and see if it runs better. It could be telling the PCM the engine is getting more air than its actually getting and its dumping more fuel.

where is the MAF located? I don't see anything online that even closely resembles my set up/ I have two switches located on the left side of the throttle body. There is a third that feeds into the intake air hose But I'm sure that'* not it, so back other two. Top or bottom?

OK, lets verify something here, did the Camaro come with the 4.3?
