OK the AIR system has one tube on each side and the EGR is the other tube thats on the pass. side, are u using blockoff plates for the EGR and leaving the AIR sytem or what? and use the 02s that were at the top of the cats to plug into the headers. then ull have to unplug the other ones from the sensors and use a ziptie so they dont hang down. this will set off the SES light,but if that bugs u buy 2 02 simulators or get it tuned out. o i almost forgot, ur gonna need 02 extensions for the ones plugging into the headers, cause if u havent found out yet, they dont reach

ull know what tube the AIR goes to cause it will only reach one of them, im not sure what u r asking about the EGR. u can just block it off but SES light will go off, other than that it has no negative effects
