EFI simplification
my engine on my 79 ford f-100 broke a month or so ago...like completely broke...so i figured id just get a new engine. ive always wanted efi, but its soo expensive...but i ended up buying an efi engine on ebay that came with almost all fuel injection pieces. i get the basic jist of fuel injection, but id like to make this as simple as possible...and since the egr system is half of the confusion of the whole deal, and i know an engine can run without it, so i want to take it out COMPLETELY..no egr valve, no thermactor, no exhaust gasses circulating through my intake manifold period. would it be simple enough as taking the pump and all vacuum hoses off, making sure to maintain vacuum? or could i just block the middle hole off on the lower intake manifold, or is that for pcv? i know theyve got some EFI geniuses on here, and right now, this is over my head. if one could take the time to explain this to me, i would be greatly appreciative.

What engine are you refering too?
The middle hole in the rear of the 5.0 car engine is the PCV valve.
Yes, the hole in the center of the intakes (betwen ports 4&5) is the EGR passage.
The truck engines use an external tube from the manifold up to the EGR valve.
