Disabling the EGR valve...is this the WAY?...

Remove the hose that goes from the vacuum to the EGR valve and plug both those connections off with a cap. Will this work to disable it?

yea, but thats for a temp fix only. along with capping off the lines. you must remove the egr and order a block off plate.

Finally...thanks for REPLYING, I appreciate it! Is it bad if I just leave it there without removing it and placing a block off plate?

As long as it's sealing (not dumping exhaust gases into the combustion chambers), it should be ok. I bought a car that was running like this for who knows how long.
