Default Removing LT1 EGR etc.

I wanted to get all that **** out of my car, but I can't find a good write up for lt1 removal, anyone know where I can find one. Also, is there anything else I can take out while I'm ripping out stuff? =D

EGR valve is on the back of your intake. You can buy egr block off plates.

I really want to actually take all of it out though, not just block it. I already have it tuned out of my car.

You need to put blockoff plates on them no matter what. Do you want an open hole running on your exhaust manifolds/headers?

do you need to tune it out or can you just bolt it up the plates and deal with the ses code?

I didnt tune mine when i did my LT swap. I also left the EGR port on the back of the intake open. No SES.

I thought that you didn't have to block it, I think it is a different section of the Intake. I had the Intake off, and it looked like that where the EGR comes in it a different section, like it is divided off internally, otherwise Exhaust would free-flow into the incoming air, not needing the EGR Valve. Anyone have any input....

Well, when I got my EGR blockoff plates, I couldn't really see into the back of my intake, as I did them while it was on the car lol.
