Default PCV/EGR writeups?

I'm sure this has been answered a thousand times, but, where can I find a good write up of the EGR and AIR removal? I'm going LT's friday, and I need to know what all I need before then, i.e. block off plates... They're pacesetters... TIA.
p.s. Title is wrong, not pcv, but air...

Not much to write up . . . just yank off vacuum line and cap off the nipple on the solenoid valve, then trash the rest of the system. I just did it last weekend. I didn't need block off plates because I ordered off-road headers.

Word, that work for the AIR system, now for the EGR system, how many plates do I need? I know 1 for the intake manifold, but what else down the line?

Can't help ya on the EGR, my car didn't come with one being a 2001. I'm guessing you would need two plates though, one for the exhaust and one for the intake.

Well, I'm going LT's and ORY, so the exhaust side is kinda irrelevant. I was more curiouws about the 'thing' that the EGR goes into after the manifold, I'm not sure what it is.
