As far as deleting the EGR system, I was thinking, would it be a good idea to simply prevent the hot air from #6 going around the back of #6 cyl? When you look at the exh manifold, you'll see that there's a way to weld that hole shut so that no hot exh gas can enter the tiny passageway behind #6 cyl. This way, no more heat is heating up the #6 jacket. If you were to simply build a EGR blocking plate and place in the place of the EGR pipe, you still have the hot exh gas trapped in that area and that concerns me over a long term.
Just some food for thought!

great input thanks. When i got rid of the cats my guy welded new bungs in for the sensors. CEL light does not come on, has a nasty little sound to it now too. I will leave EGR in tact...... Parts are slowly trickling in. The more i look at it the more it looks like humpty will go back together cleaner stronger and more attractive than any F could wish for..... Between mud and the FSM im pretty confident at this point (knock on wood!)
