Default EGR and AIR question (disable question)

are there any kits available to disable these functions?

EGR I can get the LS6 intake and disable the codes... but the AIR has an entry point into the stock exhaust manifolds (i think it's the AIR, it's on passenger side and gets in the way of spark plug changes, plus it has a gasket on the exhaust manifold that I always drop)

I want to clean the engine bay up a bit so that it's easier to work on. I have LS1 Edit so I can remove all the codes and tests for this crap.

A couple of the sponsor sell AIR block off plates, as well as a plate to block off the EGR provision on the headers.

I am very much in need of this as well because I can't get rid of an SES light. Who sells the kits and has LS1 Edit?

I think I saw some block off plates for sale on the Speed Inc online parts catalog. www.ls1speed.com

I went to the surplus store, and for $0.80, I fabricated my own with a hacksaw and a grinding wheel. I used a piece of 1/8th inch aluminum, and put a slight concavity in the plate so that when I bolted it down, the gasket would be held securely in the center, helping to avoid and prevent a leak. They're working just fine, and they look nice too (I polished them up a bit with a Dremel after installing them).
