yes you will need to remove the egr..and air..if the headers dont have a fitting on them ..which race "off road" dont..then you need to get rid of them. The vacuum hose out of the back will need to be blocked..98s are the only ones that do not have the vacuum hose.

you will also need to delete the air/egr from the computer .
as far as the vac line all you need is a small screw and maybe put some rtv on the threads . i have used a small drywall screw on mine for years .
