Will I have any problems if I remove the Air suction and EGR on a 86 22R carbed Planning on just blocking them off with plates?

I'm no expert, but the EGR is used to reduce smog by lowering the temp of the burning charge in the cylinder. You may need to step up a grade in gasoline octane-wise to prevent pinging. If you have to pass a smog test, leave it hooked up.
I hope you plan to vent the crankcase somehow. Otherwise it will make it's own ventilation by blowing out some seals!
isn't that what the pcv system is for?
Doh! Yeah, I'm a doofus. I read EGR and thought PCV!
So it shouldnt really change driveability?
Sorry, I don't know how the 86 will react. Why do you want to remove it?
just seems like the air suction is a lot of b.s. for nothing really...im having second thought about the egr though
while i'm on the subject... do i need to pull this tranny out before i try to drop this long block in or do you think i can line up the clutch with the tranny in? anybody have any input on this?
