Default EGR with LS6 intake manifold???

Tomorrow my friend and I will be installing his stock 2001 Z28 LS6 intake manifold on my 2000 Z28 which as you all know came stock with the LS1 manifold. What am I supposed to do with the EGR tube??? Should I just remove the entire EGR system? Is it legal to do that? How would I go about doing it?

I am to do the same soon. The whole system gets removed. It will throw a code though, unless you have LS1 edit.

Um...Does he own the car or is he gonna let the finance company "take it"?.
Is he going to fix it?.I suppose if he fixes it he'll end up swapping the older style manifold on his car.It would be interesting to see if all of the vally coolant tubes swap onto the newer engine.

He's getting a new motor put in it and we may just swap the manifolds, and he'll then sell it. That's his plan anyway. He's got a new project anyway: 1982 Chebbie pickup w/ a 454 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I have LS6 intake and no codes with no programming.
You can buy the bipass tube from jay "sponsor on this site" which will not throw any codes.

Why is your friend giving up his manifold?Ahh nevermind.
Yes you must remove the whole egr assy & fabricate an EGR block off. Tuck the connector back & tape it off.Your SES light will be on unless you program it out.Either Ed Wright @ fast chips or "edit" software on your lap-top can do it.
