Default is it wise to remove the EGR system? and how do you do it?

Im putting a 98 LS1 into a 69 chevelle, and was wondering what to do with the EGR system.

will this cause me any problems? and what all do i need to do?

i figured just weld up the holes on the manifolds where the EGR tubes went, but i didnt know what to do with the rest of the stuff.

there is a hose coming from the very back of the intake, do i just cap that off or what?

I would appreciate any help!

The egr system was designed by the oems for two purposes.It reduces nox a harmful greenhouse gas, and also reduces detonation by cooling intake air temperature thus further reducing combustion chamber temps.You can in many in cases do without if you have a tuner modify the base program to compensate for no egr.

yes you can plug the egr oriffice in the manifolds and plug the hose, but will have to re tune the pcm
