Your MAF sensore is either disconnected (the one on top of the intake tube) or you vac lines have become disconnected. The vac line is directly under throttle body.

Why would a 1993 Olds Acheiva stallout and die whenever it's in gear and idle rough but it will stay running in neutral?

Most of the time rough running and stalling is due to vacuum leaks. There is more of a load on the engine when it is in gear, so that lends itself to stalling out. When I look for vacuum leaks, I have the engine idling (maybe you need a friend to keep it from stalling) and then spray carburetor cleaner around the various hoses & gaskets that could be leaking. Any increase in the idle speed would be an indicator that you have a leak in that area.
