I'm swapping in a Stealth Ram tomorrow so I figure I'll pull the EGR system rather than have it sit there unused. Is it just the vacuum lines running to that black canister?

 

That canister is the vapor recovery canister for your fuel tank, and is worth leaving in place. When fuel begins to evaporate in your fuel tank, it can either be vented into the atmosphere (which means you are throwing away good money) - or be captured, stored in the canister, and vented into the intake to be burned, as it well should be. Since you obviously have no regaurd for emissions, there's nothing to fear there. However, it is estimated that 7-10% of the fuel in yoru tank can evaporate - why not keep it instead of throwing it away?

The EGR systems consists of the EGR valve on the intake you didn't want to sell me ( ), the solenoid, and the associated vac lines. There should be a vac line that runs up to the TB, just cap it and you can run your lines as normal once the system is removed.

 

But there was a cable from the EGR system running to the canister I believe. I'm not sure how it works... I'm just curious what I can toss and what needs to stay.

 

I don't have my TB in front of me, but want I think you are confusing is the vac route into the TB.

IIRC, on the bottom of the TB there is a vac. T junction. One line goes to the Canister, and the other side to the egr solenoid. The TB pulls vac from both ends and they "Just happened" to be T'ed into the same port. Other than that, they should share nothing in common. Plug the one side that you don't need anymore (either the canister or the valve).

In the event I'm not recalling this correctly, just use a common sense approach and cap whatever open vac passage you create by removing something. Hows that manifold selling?

 

Oh alright, makes sense.
My friend offered me $250 for the setup so I told him I'd take it once I'm sure my combo will pass inspection.
