You can get a block off plate for it or make your own.

My tuner tells me I will throw a code so I will have to take it to him after the swap.
Thanks for the help guys.

Eliminating the EGR will result in an SES light, but it won't effect performance.

If you have other mods you'd like to perform prior to getting a tune, I would take care of those first, then go visit your tuner.
