I bought a plate for the larger hole from thunder racing. For the smaller one I cut the pipe out of the stock plate and put a nickle in it. I have also seen them being sold on ebay regularly. My headers were not drilled out but some people use some type of brass plug to fill those holes.

Certain cams eliminate the need for EGR. Removing it keeps the inside of the intake manifold clean. It also reduces weight and clutter in the engine compartment. Removing it with a stock cam is said to increase detonation although I and others have not experienced this.
