EGR Delete Question

I've read the how to and many other threads on this, but i still have a question.

To do bare minimum, will only installing the block off plate be ok? Can I leave the EGR valve there with the hoses connected to it, or do HAVE to remove it and cap off the lines, and the lines at the throttle body? If i could only do the block off plate and leave the EGR in tact with zip ties to the lines on the EGR valve, solenoid, and throttle body, i am content. Thanks!

the block off plate goes in place of the valve. then just cap the lines that went to it and leave everything else. thats what i did

But the lines are going to the valve, and are then attached to the solenoid and TB. It seems like if the egr valve isn't removed, possibly air could escape through the hole where it connected to the IM??

A blocked off EGR should set a CEL.

Remove EGR and all vac line, solenoids etc all the way back to the throttle body . When your done all the mess under the intake will be gone.
