You can unplug the vac lines to the EGR and run it but the car is aware the EGR is not functioning and it will log a KOER code but not a check engine light. You can also ignore the electronically controlled vac lines that work the smog pump and EGR behind the passenger side tower.

In all honesty though it is a good thing to run the EGR as it helps with unburnt fuel. The car will function without it.
