Default EGR and performance cam

From what I've read, the LT4 and LS1 don't need an EGR system because the cam overlap does the job.

So, what is best for an LT1 with a cam that has more overlap than the LT4 cam? Could the EGR plus the cam overlap be too much EGR?

I believe in having the EGR, but can there be a limit to it?

It won't hurt anything if it's there but it's really not needed.
