Why get rid of any of the wires or vacuum lines; there very little weight loss by getting rid of them?

Why not hide them rather than get rid of them?

Are you sure its not running rich? Do you have a cat? If thats missing, you will notice extra exhaust gasses exiting the exhaust.

As for the EGR, theres kits to eliminate the CEL for the EGR.

Do a search
