also what is the net gain of removing all this stuff ?

from what i have read i need the 4 block off plates and the catch can and the new pcv valve,and the nice chrome breather for the oil fill location correct?

my car is a 98z

i remove the air plumbing block off the 2 lines to the manifold
remove the egr block off the plumbing to the manifold and the intake,(what do i do with the plug in wires)
i put the new style pcv valve and a catch can where the egr was
plug the valve cover vent lines,remove the oil fill cap and replace with the nice chrome breather is this all ?????????????????????????
opps edit ,almost forgot what about the lines coming from under the intake going to the throtle body

What valve cover vent lines are you talking about?

Those lines under the intake are most likely the coolant lines. You can bypass them with some fuel line.

you will gain very little by removing this stuff. It's more of a cosmetic mod vs a performance mod. You can trim the egr tube where it pokes into the intake to get it out of the incoming air flow. Also, if you don't adjust the timing tables you could start seeing some tip in knock retard when you remove the egr. I did on mine.
If you decide to pull it off I would leave the pcv system in tact ( lines that go into the valve covers).
Other than that just pull off the egr and air and plug the empty holes and drop the air pump out from under the car. Tape off the connectors so moisture doesn't get in there and corrode them and pull the air pump relay out of the fuse box.
