If you are chunking the EGR valve just because it's the EGR valve, allow
me to offer you a differing opinion.

The EGR valve does not dilute the mixture during full throttle
acceleration.  When you are cruising or at part throttle, the EGR allows
the engine to run at leaner mixtures.  If you are running a stock ECM
and prom and you don't have an EGR then you run the risk of detonation
at part throttle settings.

Bottom line, the EGR won't hurt your performance and the driveability
will be better.  Unless your striving for a cosmetic goal or just want
less complexity, I think you should connect it.
