Don't waste your time, there is no gain to be had.

While he is correct, there's no performance gain to be had from removing the EGR,.........is sure is but ugly, and that's the reason I'd remove it.

well im in the process of getting my first datsun, 77 620 standard cab shortbox and im just doing some planning of what i want to do to it, how hard is it to remove all of the egr stuff?

Looks are relative. No one can see it when you drive by, just like a header. Many who have done this have caused problems like removing the PCV valve. They secretly think this is a good thing and will give back some hidden mileage/performance but it just isn't so. The smog equipment back in the '70s was quite benign in action. Most block off plates are pretty cheesy looking and worse than the thing they replace.

 

Save what ever you remove so that you can put it back later.
