To plug the header you can go to Home Depot (not Lowes..they suck a dick) and buy a 2 dollar copper cap...5/8ths if I recall

Do your self a favor and don't delete EGR unless you've turned the EGR function off in your car's computer program. If you don't your car is still adding a lot of timing in order to compensate for the less combustible EGR gases that are no longer present causing a lean condition (and possibly detonation, which is not always audible) at part throttle. EGR gives better fuel economy, prevents pinging (a common problem on SN95s), and does not operate at idle or WOT so it doesn't impact your track performance. Basically there are no real advantages to deleting EGR unless you want to get rid of the plumbing off of the header which a Fox TB conversion will do for you while still allowing you to run EGR. Just my 2 cents.
