to get it in the tank, put it in where you put the gas pump when you get gas. this is the only one near the back of the car. then find the brake booster hose. it should pretty much be the one going from the manifold to the brake booster, or something like that. look that up. put some in there. then put a bit in where you put the oil in. use amounts as instructed

Go wash or something if you really really feel the need to touch it.
Perhaps even detail it if you have the urge.
Actually, you should detail it. That will do several things for you.
1) You'll feel amazing about your new purchase since it will sparkle.
2) You'll start to learn the car, inside and out.
3) You'll also feel like you've done something to make the car better (which seems to be what you're trying to do with rebuilding the engine and sea foaming the engine)
Don't take what I'm saying the wrong way. I just don't want you to tear apart something that works and not be able to put it back together. I've done it several times.

ok i guess it'll wait till Saturday(my day off) and give her a good bath inside and out. but i still feel weird about the check engine light it's been on ever since i got it and it kinda bugs could it be due to me needing to change the tranny and engine oil?

definately not tranny, and unlikely to be engine oil. (i say unlikely because i just don't know). it's probably a sensor or something. it's unlikely that seafoam would help extinguish the light, because if anything, that stuff is often said to damage sensors, like Otiny2 sensors

dude i understand your need to work on the new car. and the check engine light i understand you wanting to fix. but rather then rebuilding the engine and mess, if you have to do something, drive it! go on a trip! lol then when you get back you might actually have something to work on!
