EGR vacuum line question

Hi there. I have my EGR disabled in my tune, but I need to keep the valve for appearance reasons. On the EGR solinoid, there are 2 vacuum lines that run into it. One comes off the egr valve itself, the other runs to the evap canister. Can i plug the vacuum ports on the solinoid, egr valve and evap canister and not toss a code? I want to remove the bracket the solinoid attaches to, but just let sit there.

Thanks

Kevin

If disabled in the tune ,the ECM will never try to operate the valve .
Consequentially; if not trying to operate the EGR , ECM will never throw a code from the EGR not operating
So you can remove/ plug what ever you like; vac or electrical

Evap canister is seperate system ; no codes from removal but require vac to operate if left in place
