Guys who have installed pacesetter LT's ...inside

Have any of you guys installed pacesetter Lt's and hooked up the emmisions? I tried last night to hook up the egr and suprize the tranny dipstick is mounted right in front of the egr hook up on the headers. Also I tried to hook up the air fittings and again a happy suprize the didn't line up. So after battling with those for a hour I decided that sence I have no cat anymore I don't need them. 1 Problem solved. #2 problem is the dang egr hook up. Can someone please tell me either how get it tooo hook up or how to block it off. I am on my last day of the install and I really need to get around these obsticals. Thanks , anthony

Do the headers come with its own EGR pipe or does it require you to re-use the original, because i would just re-use the original. You dont need to remove the hose from the back of the manifold. It should just bend into place, mine was a flexy pipe.

yeah I Tried to reuse the flex tube that was one the manifolds but where the bung is for the egr hook up , it is alligned with the tranny dipstick tube. So to me the tranny dipstick needs to be moved 1" or so to clear so that the egr line can hook up but now I cant even get to the bolt that holds the dang dipstick tube in place OMG I am freaking out I thought that I would get the headers with the emissions and not have to worry with all blocking off all that stuff but now seems as though it is the only way to make these things work.
