what engine are you working with?.. but most likely it is the EGR or AIR system, if your doing a non-Smop swap, you can get rid of both system and use block off or weld shut.

No problem there.. I am old school too.. My chevelle was my 1st try at doing a EFI and LSx swap.. but I got through it ok with the help of this site. To me.. a swap is a swap.. doesn't matter what engine it is.. back in the day.. we just did about anything and anyway we could.. now adays.. everyone want the simple way or someone to do it for them..

If you are not worried about emissions/smog testing and don't need the EGR system and the AIR system to pass your state safety inspection, you can probably remove the EGR and AIR systems... and maybe even the EVAP system. However, you definitely want to keep your PCV system.
