Might seem like a simple question and references would be helpful but there was some debate during a game regarding the extra attack given from two close combat weapons. The sanguinary guard have their modified bolt pistol assault 2 and then in addition their glaives which is a two handed power weapon. Does simply being two handed negate the pistol as being a secondary close combat weapon thus not allowing for the +1 attacks?

Yes.

You are not fighting with two single handed weapons any longer. In order to get the extra attack you have to fight with two single handed weapons.

they have glaive encarmines automatically, and have option of taking a powerfist.

either way you never get the bonus attack for two cc weapons.

Page 42, where it says "if a model is using a two-handed close combat weapon ... it may not use it together with another weapon."

So No Bonus attacks for Glaive Encarmines or Power Fists.

Also, Angelus Boltguns are not improved Bolt Pistols....

Augh, my eyes.

Thanks for the clarification and reference. Even without that bonus they are a pretty tough unit
