Default LT Headers EGR port

I am looking at buying my first corvette in the next month. One of the 1st things I want to do is LT Headers / X pipe and CAI. I was looking at the Texas Speed package but it shows no EGR ports. What do you do in that case?
I am not in to spending over $1K on these.

Any advice would be helpful.

I'm pretty sure he meant the AIR tubes on the headers

That is what I mean. Watching the install videos, the mechanic referred to the AIR Tubes and EGR.

Just trying to claify how to handle

Remove the entire AIR system (good luck with the crossover tube running along the firewall, mine is still there years later after installing my Texas Speed headers) if allowed. I went so far as to remove the pump as well. Make sure you plug the open vacuum line that remains, chase down the tube to the air filter housing.
When you get the car tuned for the headers, they can get the AIR system tuned out also. Add the ship shift delete including dashboard warning.
P.S. no idea what video you saw, but I'd be a little leary of it if he called the air injection system exhaust gas recirculation.

You either have to buy a set that has the AIR connection or tune the system out as previously stated. Some manufacturers offer both configurations.
