You can probably pass emissions. Only the most rigorous "rolling" dyno type test would include the load/rpm combinations that use the EGR system. However, if your engine tune is already marginal, there is always the risk you will fail due to excessive NOx.
It is illegal under Federal law to disable any emissions equipment. It may also be illegal under some State laws.... depends where you live.
It will not alter performance in any way. EGR is only used at low/moderate load. It reduces combustion chamber temps, reduces NOx emissions, and reduces the chances of detonation when "lugging" the engine at low rpm. It isn't used at WOT, so it doesn't affect performance.

Here is a question along the same lines. I removed the egr tube and put the block off plates from Steve on them. I have MAC headers and the pipe wasn't butting up against the header and creating a leak. I left the EGR unit and did not use that block off plate. Is that going to create a problem? I know the guys that use LTs don't use the egr tube.
