EGR or not?
EGR - Exhaust Gas Recovery and yours has it. Whether or not you wish to run it depends on your personal preferences and/or your state/local emmissions laws. What year Bronco? Fuel injected has the EGR valve and diaphram on the top front ot the intake just to the left of the throttle body as you face the engine compt.. Carburated engines (if memory serves) have it immediately behind the carb. Not difficult to spot... large vacuum diaphram with a line run to it. EFI trucks also have a sensor or two attached so the computer knows what the valve is up to. I am not 100% certain but carburated trucks should have the valve and diaphram assy. attached to a spacer between the intake and carb. At least thats how my brother's 302 in his '76 is set up.

EGR or not?
Thanks GreystreakS92; it's a 1996, so yes 5.8 351 W, EGR, EFI. I am considering a component from Edelbrock.. Also as I decide on the Bassani Y-pipe with single cat, I was wondering about the 3 o2 sensors and how they would be effected if I change intake manifold and/or throttle body.
thanks;

Exhaust Gas Recirculation 
Why would you want to change any of those parts on a '96? It already has one of the most efficient engine control systems on the road, so you're only asking for trouble by bolting on aftermarket stuff. JMO
