if you dont have to worry about emissions then go non egr

 

You can strip ALL EGR, i have done this and everything is fine, if you get a check engine light, just pull the bulb out and keep an eye on your oil pressure and temperature as your own personal "check engine light". Now if you have an 02 sensor, you will need to keep that, but since you have an 85, and of course a carb, no worries in that neighborhood.
