Default EGR AIR Delete?

I pulled off the EGR and the AIR systems on my car and was wondering after blocking off both systems properly, will it still throw a code? Also do I need a tune after this? Dumb question I know, but Im sure there are more out there thinking the same thing. Thanks guys!

I have already deleted the rear cats and have long tubes with an ORY so I dont have rear 02 sensors. Will I see any gains from a tune?

I know if you buy the block off kit it comes with the plate to block off the egr on the intake but what about the tube on the other side of the valve?

In truth will there really be all that much of a gain from an LS6 intake? And isnt the opening for an LS6 85mm and the LS1 throttle body is a 78mm... So in ignorance I ask this... Would you not also need an LS6 TB...?

Throttle body is the same. I would be patient and buy a LS6 intake on the cheap. There are a lot of over priced ones out there. I got one for $200 and one for $250 and one for free. They are $500 new. They are well worth the cash. You can port your own throttle body with basic mechanical skills and a good metal die grinder bit.

I have seen nice throttle bodies on here for $150-200.
