If the rest of the system to make the EGR valve operate has been removed, then no you don't need it.

This was going to be my next question that I asked on the site, you beat me to it.

I have removed the AIR pump and related hoses and the cat. What else do I need to remove to take off the EGR? Or, have I already achieved this by removing the items I stated?

I know that you can buy a block off plate for the EGR so that would be my next move.

Yes, buy the blockoff plate, plug all the vacuum hose ports left open and you are good to go.

some of the problems that you have been having maybe because the stuff that was taken off was not blocked off verry good .you may have some vacuume leaks .
