EGR Delete

Quick question: I'm getting a set of race headers as most do and deleting the EGR and smog pump and such. My question is do you have to tune all that out to keep it from throwing codes?

EGR needs a tune yes, AIR does not (on OBDI cars, just leave a good fuse in the system).

What generally happens without a tune after EGR delete? Just did it on my bird and cant afford a tune right now. No thread jack intended sorry.

Assuming you blocked off the EGR properly (tube, valve, vac line), you'll get an SES light and the fans will constantly run. There won't be any other adverse effects.
