Default Should I Do This?

i have a stock 99' LS1 with plans and I was given a LS2 90mm intake from a friend with an 06 GTO but i know all of the intakes for the LS1's have hookups (or slots) for the E.G.R. so is it worth it to cut off the E.G.R. and bolt up the LS2 intake or will it be too big of a pain and should i just buy one that fits? I dont want the car running like **** because of the SES?

With the LS2 mainfold you will also need the LS2 fuel rails or you will need the spacer for the LS1 rail to make it fit on the LS2 manifold.
