stuck on foreign earned income exclusion

I am filling out my 1040 and am a self employed US citizen living abroad. In filling out the 2555 form, and claiming my $87,600 income exclusion, I find myself with a much higher adjusted gross income than it would be otherwise. How does this work? I am sure I am missing something. Any ideas?

Is Line 21 (Other Income) positive 87600 or negative 87600? It should be negative.
