i need help on air delete. i know 02's do not have egr because of ls6 intake or something like that. if any one has ever done this to a 01-02 ls1 help would be great. i am not 100% sure but i think i need to buy the air gasket and block off plate. all help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks, Justin

you don't need a block off plate. you can cut the flange off the pipe and use the coin of your choice as a plate, then just bolt the flange back on wi th that coin under it.
as for the lid...surely you can engineer something? buy an aftermarket lid, problem solved.

Ha, i woulda never thought to stick a coin or another similiarly sized piece of metal over the hole then bolt the flange back down. Pretty good idea.
I didnt feel like buying block off plates so i cut the tube 2" from the flange and crushed the cut side shut with a bench vise. Then i for good measure i took the crushed end to a bench grinder and grinded the end at an angle til it "welded" itself shut from the heat. Bolted them on and went on my way.

I just had my fittings welded up and the headers re-coated. But... before when I still had the fittings, I took a scrap piece of thin aluminum I think I originally got at Ace Hardware, made some shiny block-off plates by tracing the AIR gasket, polished them up on my buffing wheel, then installed the home made block-offs with the AIR gasket underneath. Worked and looked great for about 10 years.
