If you dont have Cats then AIR is useless. EGR is for emissions and is said to help combustion chamber temps but,... eh, I dont think you'll have problems. I guess some cams handle the EGR effect with overlap or something of the sort too... I'm not an engineer here so dont quote me..

Yeh if your not getting cats, pull out the AIR and EGR. Assuming you do not have to pass emissions. The EGR is good for stock cars, but isn't a big deal really. It's purpose is to cool off the cylinder heads. It isn't any gain to get rid of AIR and EGR, but it's two less things cluttered in your engine bay that are useless.
