If emissions is a concern for you then I would run an EGR.

not really since it just passed smog
but would it effect me at all or no

With an inoperative or missing EGR you will not pass emissions, so I am assuming that you have to pass every other year. It's not like if you delete it you're going to pick up a massive amount of power.

you will not gain any hp from deleting the egr. you will lose some mpg. save your self the headache in a few years and put it on.

I have done extensive dyno and track testing with regards to the following:

Deleting cats
x vs h pipe
Long tube vs. Short runner headers
Deleting EGR
Deleting Smog pump
Underdrive pulleys
Mass Air meters (all brands).

I can tell you the worst idea is to delete the egr without a tune to compensate. Removing it kills part throttle performance and in many cases creates a hot start issue. No WOT performance gain at all.
