EGR disconnect

When you disconnect the EGR plug do you need to remove the plate or will it work with out removing it and just unpluging it.

i live in se texas and had been having a problem with my 03 f250 6.0 not "taking off" from a dead stop very quickly unless i put on the brakes and ran the rpm's up alittle....just unplugged the EGR today to see what would happen and it seemed to have done something to help that problem...now when i hit the pedal it takes right off with no sluggish behavior at all...

The CEL will only illuminate if the truck is running on a California-emissions flash.
