'87 f150 kicking in acceleration

Hey everyone, I'm new on here trying to find some answers while my dad is deployed. I have an '87 f150, was kicking really badly and dying while in idle. I figured it was a fuel problem because I had spark and air. I replaced the fuel pump and the fuel filter. This solved the problem with the stalling while in idle, and eliminated most of the kicking. However, it is still kicking when the accelerator is pushed. I checked for a possible secondary filter, but no luck. I'm at a loss. Any ideas on what else to try? Thanks guys.

I believe the normal suspects for that problem would be the IAC, TPS or clogged cat. But since you said the idle issue went away, the IAC is probably a non-issue.
