The AIR system is extremely simple to get rid of. whenever you do the headers you can take care of the egr at the same time. you will need a tune afterwards to delete the codes.

Go to autozone and look for a rubber expandable freeze plug thing... It sits on top of your intake where the EGR hole is... you tighten the bolt and it plugs the hole....

Unless you are getting an LS6 intake also then just ignore what I said.

All the AIR system does is pump fresh air into one of the primaries on both sides to get the cats to "flash" off faster, and once your car is up to operating temp it shuts off. So really its dead weight.

No it will not affect anything you have listed adversely. Everything will function normally.
