I removed these but I'm guessing I'll need a resistor or something to prevent a CEL... For now I guess I can just plug the TAD/TAB solenoids (without vacuum) and tuck them away inside the fender...

You need an 82 ohm, 2 watt wirewound resistor.

See www.digikey.com p/n 42J82RE-ND, 97 cents each

If I used my TwEECer to set the EGR=2 and the Thermactor=0 to disable them in the ECU (the thermactor pump is already physically removed from car, along with cross over pipe and exhaust pipe). I know I can now physically remove and block off the EGR. But can I now physically remove the TAD/TAB solenoids and connecting vac lines, as long as I block them off?

I would like to clean up the engine bay a little more, and I would like to physically remove the EGR and those two solenoids. I just don't know if simply disabling the EGR and Thermactor functions via the TwEECer is enough, if I have to change other settings, or if I am forced to leave them physically connected to the engine.
