EGR/AIR delete...Can I remove the solenoids?

For EGR delete: For confirmation I can remove all this stuff including the solenoid correct?



For AIR Delete:
I already removed the air pump and my car is tuned to not have air. What else is there to remove? Is this part of the AIR system too? I assume it is the bleeder after the recall? Since the pre-recall on shobox's site doesnt look like this. I assume its safe to remove the entire thing?

i would think with the EGR valve gone, the solenoid would be pretty much useless.
I was wondering the same question you have, and im looking at that picture up top, and there is a vacum hose going to the valve, and one going to the intake. Without the valve there wouldnt really be much for it to do right?

Once you decide to delete the systems, you can delete all the related parts. You will have to address the SES/code issues when deleting the solenoids, but all the parts have no purpose once you decide the system is no longer going to operate. Any "openings" have to be plugged - air source for the AIR pump, vacuum sources for solenoids, etc.

Ya I'm mainly interested in the AIR solenoid..If that is what I think it is. I think I will remove it. Shouldnt be any codes since I've already got it tuned out.
