What functions do you want to lose???
Do you need to pass emissions wherever you live?
There should be a sticker on your radiator support telling you where all the color coded lines are connected to.

Hard to lose the EGR then, it's covering a hole in the exhaust.
There's lots of people on this board who have deleted the A.I.R. pumps and the plumbing across the back of the heads.
Charcoal canisters and purge plumbing, EGR etc..
But you need to keep the lines for the Distributor, PCV, heater controls and air cleaner(if it's stock)

It sounds like half of your stuff is already missing. If the stuff was still there, I wouldn't touch it.
To put it simply, the PCV and Vacuum Advance system are the two things that you should not remove. The EGR can stay or go, it doesn't really matter. If it is functioning correctly and connected correctly I would leave it.
