Usually the computer will detect a missing EGR so you will need to ahve it reflashed. But, you didn't say what year 460 etc. A spare 460??
ANyway, you can remove EGRs and plut on a plate to block off the ports, but if you have an OBD II computer you almost surely will need to reflash the computer. An OBD I might be more forgiving. I think Ford went to OBD II in 95 but I don't know for sure.
Removing smog gear without thinking about the whole system can cause problems so make sure you know why you want to remove the EGR.
Good Luck,

My 429 came out of a 70 tbird and it didn't have an egr valve on it. The intake didn't even have cross overs. My 73 tbird that I still have with a 460 had an egr originally. Probably was earlier for California models.??
