Default AIR/EGR delete

I am new to posting on the forum, and I did search, but I didn't find definitive answers. I purchased TIPIS headers, with the AIR bung delete, which I'm ready to install on my 1994 C4. Do I just disconnect the tubing and power at the pump? TPIS told me it may throw a code, but I'm going to do cam install this winter (going with Lloyd Elliot S2) so I will be reprogramming PCM anyway...which brings me to second part of the question; when I do the cam I plan on doing EGR delete. Has anyone done this, and did you purchase after-market plates, to block off feed tube, manifold? Also, I'm going to bypass the TB coolant. Do I just bypass the t-tube fitting where the hose branches off to the TB with straight hose, or should I replace entire hose sections? I know these aren't earth shattering problems, but I have found tons of videos, threads, information on tearing the engine down, but no reference to DIY on this small stuff. And I did buy a service manual.
Thanks, Gary

I purchased EGR block off plates when I installed my cam. When you tune it, or have it tuned you can turn the code off.

As for the coolant bypass, buy the upper radiator hose for the 1995. That eliminates the T on that side. Then just remove the plastic T on the small hose by the passenger front wheel, and replace it with a straight plastic connector, without the T. Much cleaner that way.
