EGR spacer. No point trying to leave it off, since it's already capped at both ports.
Leaving it off will leave a rather large vacuum leak where that hole is on the underside.

Different intake is another story. Woulda been nice to have that info from the start.....

If the EGR spacer doesn't fit the other intake, then you don't have much choice but to leave it off.

Too many possible variables, RadioControlGuy85. The EGR adapter served a couple of purposes. Besides allowing the routing of spent exhaust gasses back to the carburetor, under certain controlled conditions, it also served to provide the right height so the carburetor and throttle cable had the correct geometry.

Since we do not know anything about the second manifold, no input can be provided. Post again with photos or at least a description, such as whether it is another stock Motorcraft 1 barrel or an aftermarket 4 barrel...
