Will my TA run without EGR

I'm replacing my stock manifold with an Edelbrock 2101(egr delete). The car has one now. I'm using the Quadrajet. I installed Dyno Dons no air headers and Y. Will I run into any problems with no EGR? I'm not worried about gas milage or emissions.

Just make sure the electrical connector remains hooked up. You can plug the vacuum line on it. That's the only part of the EGR system that will cause the ECM to throw a code.

OK, will all the other vaccum needed items work fine? Will it affect my cruise? All the vac lines are stock. Nothing removed or added.

The EGR has a vacuum line that runs to it from the electrical connector, IIRC, and doesn't actually connecto the manifold or carb/intake. As long as your other lines are hooked up properly, it won't affect anything else.
