Best thing to do is take out the EGR and AIR systems if you are getting race style headers... Your car will throw an SES code, but this can be turned off with a simple tune.

What about the EGR Fitting on the intake? How do you block that up?

I am helping work on my sons 2000 Z28.

Speed Inc. (www.ls1speed.com) makes a manifold block off plate that goes for $2 I believe.

This thread https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-external-engine/673299-air-removal-pics.html has a very detailed write-up for the removal of the AIR system. Check the stickies and search to find one for EGR.
