headers/emission question I would really like to delete my egr and air out of my 98 Z28. If I were to just block them off and not hook them up would I get any ses lights or would the car run lean/rich?

I'll answer your question. However, I ask that you try to do a search (and read stickies) before asking any more questions. The search button has a wealth of information waiting to be found and works much quicker, and in better depth and detail, with more perspective, than one thread.
Yes, you will get an SES light. You will not pass emissions where there is a competent (sp?) visual inspection or an OBDII type plug in diagnostic. If you plug them up it will run just fine.

AIR and EGR are useless. It cleans up the engine bay, is one or two less things to move out of the way every time you do any work, and it saves weight.
Just block them off, unless you must pass emissions. In that case you can have the codes deleted.
