Default Removing EGR?

First of all, I have a 98' t/a. A buddy of mine was telling me that we can revome the EGR pump and block off where the tube went into the intake and the one down to the exhaust. Thus getting rid of the EGR. What are the downsides to this? Are there any benifits?
Thanks in Advance.

Benifits are that it cleans up the engine bay. The EGR tube sticks down about an inch or so into the intake track. It disrupts air flow. How much? VERY little, but every little bit helps. That's pretty much it.

what about the electrical plug going to that pump, does that have to have some kind of trick adapter plug for it?

No one has came up with a resistor plug yet, so we all end up getting the codes removed via LS1Edit.

I am going to have my AIR and EGR edited out with ls1edit. I have had both systems off for 6 months now, with nothing more than an SES light. I bought the 3 needed blockoff plates from 'Mighty Mouse' from this board for $15 shipped

so when i eliminate the AIR system and the EGR, what do i do with the random wires? Just tape them up and place then somewhere unnoticable?
