I made a block off plate out of an old mechanical fuel pump cover plate I had laying around.
I had the EGR turned off in the PROM to prevent any EGR codes from showing up.
When I had the stock exhaust manifolds on the car, I just used a pipe cap from Ace hardware to block it.
Later cut the air tubes completely off the exhaust manifolds and had the holes welded shut.
If your headers have the air tubes for the EGR, you can do the same. It gives you a lot of clearance - for changing spark plugs and such - if you cut them off and have the holes welded.
