This question is better suited for the DIY_EFI list. 

It will be read by many of the same people, but that's the more
appropriate forum. : )

The problem I face is that of the the EGR valve... the origial is the 4 wire digital and the new motor uses the linear egr with PWM and position feedback.. right now I just want to use a block off plate where the EGR valve was so I can get the car running, and then worry about making an adapter plate so that the old EGR will fit on the new mounting plate.. If I block off the EGR ports with a plate, and don't hook up the harness to anything.. will the computer sense this and not play with spark or fuel when the EGR is supposed to be engaged? I understand that when the EGR opens.. the computer compensates by advancing the timing and leaning out the amount of fuel?
