Will removed smog set any code's
I removed all the smog stuff. Pump, hoses, ect. Will this set any code's? If so, what can i do? And can I just cap all the other ports for the smog lines i.e.- plenum, and the junction box to the left of the distributor.

The new to me aftermarket intake monifold that I have has an EGR block off plate. Should I keep the EGR or leave the plate on. Would the engine run better without the EGR? :thumbs:

Your only problem might be the dreaded EGR code 32, if coolant temps get high enough (around 175deg F, I believe).
Also, you O2 sensor may heat up more slowly causing a little delay on the ECM going into Closed Loop mode.

Take it out.
A code 32 is only saying the EGR is not working properly. Well, it wouldn't , would it? You've taken it out. So nothing to worry about.
There is some sort of resistor/diode circuit which you can put in to fool the computer into thinking it is still there though, so no dreaded code 32.
