yes, you can remove it & make a block off plate, just be sure to make a gasket or use some good rtv sealand.....

w/o all the emissions junk & nothing hooked to it, you shouldn't
need it.......it is just taking up space in the manifold.....

does anyone have a picture of the egr valve? I have a part on my manifold that I cant figure out, it's held on with two bolts, and has a vac. run to it, also it hooks in to the throttle butterfly thing, is this the egr valve solenoid? please help ASAP

the egr valve is held on w/ 4 bolts, if lookin @ the mani bolted to the head, it will be on the passenger side of the manifold right under the carb.

Wait! So what do us Weber guys do about it? Are we not risking the well-being of our engine? I don't like detonation! lol.
