Default Yanking out the EGR & AIR, what to do with wire?

I've read all the stickies and searched and nobody says what they do with the wire leftover the plugs into each of the little motors. I'm less concerned with the AIR pump down in front of the driver headlight compartment and more concerned with the EGR wire in front of the pass side head. Tape it up & stick it where? Cut it off somewhere? I know I'll throw a code too, I'll get it tuned out later.

For the EGR, I used a matching weather tight plug, and taped it to the wiring harness. I wish I remembered the part number, sorry.

For the AIR wires, I wrapped them in electrical tape, and stuck them behind the area when the pump braket bolts up.

I just traced mine back and cut them off. It really neatened up the engine bay. If you can trace them back and tape them up behind the manifold you may want to do that to get them out of the way.

I just got a rubber cap from home depot, bent it around the connectors and used waterproof white vinyl pipe wrap, and taped it with black tape.
