EGR? Urgent?

Got a 95 351W with the EGR disconnected. How urgent is it for me to hook it up? Worried about engine mote than NOx.

The whole point of the EGR is to reduce combustion temps, therefore reducing NOX. As long as the vacuum line is connected, you shouldn't get codes from it. I know people without emissions tests run without EGR, but it really won't matter either way. Chances are there's too much carbon built up to make a difference, even with the EGR connected
