It's pretty easy on the 93, just take out the vac line then plug them. When it's time for the emmisions test you can put it back on, I think, but I havent disabled mine.

Doesn't the newer PFC disable the EGR?

The only benefit I know is what was previously mentioned by rotary93; if it gets caught in the open position...it's a costly repair. The recirculation of inert exhaust gasses was found to reduce certain types of bad-for-environment emmisions. This is what I recollect from my readings...if you want to know more look at the many informative websites that we have on the web -- I'm sure it'll be explained better.
In the 94's there will be some check engine light that comes up if u disable it...maybe this is what the PFC fixes...not sure.
