Seems like when I did it on my '01 WS6 I just put a small K&N breather I got with my lid on a hose up under the cowl.

What hoses are you talking about? Vac lines, or the hoses that go into the manifolds? both of them you can take care of them with some plugs. I've read some people use some scrap metal and some rtv to create plugs for the manifolds.

Just the ses light, if you're swapping intakes just add the ac vac line to the rear of the intake manifold. You'll see it when you remove it.

simply unplug the electric connector from the egr if you wont be using it bend the flex tube to the side(doing headers remove it all together!!!), if you have a buddy with a tuner its worth 50+ $$ for credits to have him delete the air/egr so your egr isnt running open cycle witch retards the timing enough to loose any benefit if not more of doing the swap!!!
