Default ? about EFI Live

buddy of mine has the EFI Live programmer. im wanting to get rid of the EGR, AIR, and Rear O2 (i know a feller to help me with the inspection part here in MO). my question is can u tune out these codes without doing a full blow PCM Tune?(not really wanting to go that far until ive got more go fast parts rounded up) since the most tuning ive ever done has been with superchips (on my 2000 Z-28) and hypertech(on 94 Z-28), im really not sure on what im doing in that area. my buddy mainly uses EFI LIve on duramaxs and downloading maps off the internet. any info would be a great help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like all you need is the VIN license and your set.
