Just take the line that fed the EGR and plug it... should have a Red & Green feed up there...one goes to EGR the other to the intake nipple...

you still need the lines under the manifold, but the red and green lines you can just remove afterwards maybe the white line also but I have deleted my smog pump also so that's what that one might have been for.

If you removed the smog just plug that rubber tri plug good, and stuff it into the fender...they feed to solenoids up there. The pink and white feed the diverter valves you removed...

this is what you removed...red. green, white. the white goes to one of the diverters, the pink must of connected to another...

What did you guys do when the CE light came on? I have a fox body egr valve that is "hooked" up but not installed to prevent it from flashing the code I have the valve bolted to the firewall It looks so out of place, peeps do a double take when they see it.

Where's your stock EGR?? All you need do is unbolt the plug portion and secure the plunger 1/2 way, leave it plugged in an you'll never get the CE light..
Not sure if the Fox EGR is different and the ECC see's that??

I homied mine with wirenut inside this section of line...it secures the plunger 1/2way just fine....Tuck it away outta sight..

you need to tune the EGR and smog pump out of the computer via chip or tuner but you have to do this of you will have some issues with C/E lights, and your gas consumption will suffer from just removing the EGR.

Stock egr diaphram ripped so I grabbed one off a fox at the junk yard. I need to do as you did and keep the plunger pushed in just been lazy about it.
