Stock EGR is too small you want a 70-75mm unit.

No you don't have to run the egr, you will have to either make a bracket or buy a spacer that will let you bolt the accelerator bracket on. I did the spacer thing years ago, I put the egr back on, don't remember why.
It was a couple minutes ago.
I'm officially an 'old guy'

You need to still buy the EGR spacer plate so you can bolt the throttle linkage support to it to hold the throttle cable.

The opening is 70MM so the 70mm unit should be fine

Is the intake the 96- early 97 one that has the EGR port like the Mustang HO intake? If so, you might as well run the right size EGR spacer for the bracket to work.
