Default LS6 Intake swap q's

I'm about to install an LS6 intake on my stock 98 coupe (got a great deal and its the basis for more mods), and after reading that its a direct bolt in change I thought of a few questions.

Do I need to worry about changing over to the LS6 PCV system, or will the LS1 system work fine?

I know about the coolant lines, and the options, but what about the EGR? I keep hearing that the newer LS6 manifolds didn't have provisions for an EGR, and I don't know if mine does or not. Is this something I need to worry about? Does this even come into play?

TIA

PCV not affected, and Corvettes don't have EGR

Default Egr

I have no idea what made me think they did... Any insights on the PCV?

It's not affected in any way, just hook the stock LS1 PCV line to the LS6 manifold the same way it hooks to the LS1 manifold. No worries
