Egr valve location

Piece of cake. Remove it. Lay it on some roofing flashing or thin metal approx .030 to .060 thick. Draw an outline of the EGR valve on the thin metal.
Then cut out the outline of the EGR on that piece of metal. Install that piece of metal b/t the EGR valve and the manifold. It's now blocked off at little cost. Also plug the vacuum line attached to the valve. Done.
Heck, you could lay the EGR on some gasket material and cutout the outline of the EGR on the paper and then install it b/t the EGR and the intake manifold as described above. Just don't cut any hole IN the gasket paper.
