make sure that the spark is actually at the distributor(isn't it called a coil pack?). If there isn't electricity to into the box, none will come out and could would not fire at all and just turn over and over.

Did you try cranking at WOT for about 20 seconds yet?
Try that first, it is more than likely your problem. The cleaner you used has washed all the oil off the cylinder walls and you are not getting compression.

Well, I barely cleaned anything at all, so I doubt that's the problem.
I only tried turning the engine over for a max of 5 seconds or so each time I tried (~5 times). It just doesn't "feel the same" as it normally does when I try to start it.

Ask for some help here.

When you say you worked on GTP's. What exactly did you do man?  If you're having trouble with vac connections and you have stated this... but I am good with a wrench and have done motor swaps and cam installs and everything under the sun with Pontiac Grand Prix GTP's I'm a little leary.

You're questioning my mechanical ability because there is a broken vac line and I can't figure out where it goes on a motor I know nothing about and am completely unfamiliar with? Mkay.
I figured someone would know what it was, and be like hey this is where it goes and this is what it's for, and I'd fix it, and it would be that easy. Which, is what happened.
Anyways...I'll mess with this some more when I get home and see what it's deal is.

Is it possible something could have happened to the starter during the swap process? I read it's just underneath the throttle body, and since I was removing the throttle body and a bunch of crap around it???

We're not there. We don't know what you touched. The starter shared nothing with the only components you SHOULD have been messing with. You did something with the coil pack. Something is not hooked up.
