Smile G'day folks!...another new guy intro with some questions...

Hello all !!! I am a new member from the great white north, new to forums, new to on-line questions period, tried one other site, but had no luck, so figured this would be the best place to find accurate advise,and a new fresh start, so here goes...recently purchased a 94' F350 4x4,reg cab long box, with a stump pullin' big block..."am in love !" this truck has had some mods prior to my ownership, such as: K&N filter, 3" exhaust from the manifolds back, through a single flowmaster, no cat, Accel super coil, throttlebody spacer, it has had something removed from the end of the center section of the intake tubes, and the timing seems to be slightly advanced, needless to say...it goes like stink !. I am planning on headers and duals, as well as the K&N intake system upgrade to get the filter out of that obviously restrictive box. I've also recently befriended the owner of a local 4x4 and off-road shop, this fella knows his stuff, (he also proudly owns a heavily beefed up ford) he recomended that I let him reprogram my computer, that this process would show me great gains, and that he'd done this many times and has had awsome results every time, so I figured I'd let him do it.My questions are (1) I'm planning on removing the smog pump and related hoses and piping, what are the electronics in them and what happens if there unplugged ? (2) I'm guessing that I should leave a vacuum canister, which one ? (3) What do I use to plug the pipe holes in the back of the heads ? (4) Plug all related vacuum lines ? or are there some that need to stay connected ? and to what ? (5) EGR, leave it connected but plug it off ? (6) Can I utilize a larger throttlebody & injector size ? if so, what is recommended ? (7) What do I do with the EGR and the O2 sensor when I install the headers ? and finally (8) what spark plugs do these engines like ? Thanks to all who use and inform on these sites....Greatly appreciated !!!
