Default Installed BBK LTs, need some help

OK so today I installed my BBK LTs and the only thing I am having trouble with is the EGR and AIR...I will soon be getting them tuned out but in the mean time what do I do with the hoses that ran into the stock headers? Right now I just have them open blowing air and I doubt that is right. Ive searched all over here and camaroz28 forum and cant really figure it out.

Setup is 2000 Camaro SS with lid, corsa cat back, BBK LTs and 4.10 gearing

Any help is greatly appreciated

theres a writeup on here on how to remove the air motor underneather the bumper but iif you dont fee like taking the bumper off just pull the fuse for air pump and disconnect the hoses where they go under the car b the headlight. for the egr if you have it remove it all and get an adjustable rubber freeze plug and use that to plug the hole.

Looked today to pull the fuse for the AIR but when I looked in the manual for which one, it said that the same fuse is for other things too??

Also, for the EGR, can I plug it w/o removing it? In PA we have a visual inspection and it has to be there.
