Yes you can block those hoses off or plug them, it will not effect you at all.

you need to block of the one port on the water pump but leave the bypass hose to the thermostat housing or you'll have issues.

You could just connect the two hoses that go into the EGR spacer together and just bypass it. My friends done this before. I would suggest getting an EGR spacer though, would look better than one with 2 hoses disconnected.

If it leaks water into the manifold, it will also leak vacuum. Vacuum leaks are not good for performance & driveablity.
