You should not, and you shouldn't have removed all the smog equipment. Read through this thread:

Wouldn't it make sense that if you take away the exhaust gas that is being routed back into the cylinder then that space would now be filled by air/fuel mixture? More air/fuel mixture in the cylinders = more power?

I removed everything on my 78, and blocked off the egr, I am running a demon 500 carb and she runs awsome on 85 pump gas, I bumped the timeing up to 12 deg. havent had any negative issues with this setup, with the stock 2150 carb I did get some pinging if I got on it hard but that carb was junk anyway.

My truck never had a charcoal canister in it but it did have an egr system at one time - When the PO swapped the engine, he had a new dual exhaust system installed and he transferred the intake manifold (along with egr plate and carb) over from the old engine to the rebuilt shortblock - he blocked the egr port off with a plate... Seems to run just fine without it... There is a vacuum delay valve (at least, I think that's what that is) installed in between the carb and distributor to help with pinging...
