The EGR pipe is located on the back of the motor (up against the firewall) and to access it I'm pretty sure you would NEED to pull the motor. It is held on by the flange on the top that connects to your intake manifold, and the flange on the bottom that connects to the passenger side exhaust manifold (just above the cat). There is also a bracket on the back-middle of the engine that I believe is attached by a single 12mm bolt.

As far as eliminating it, you could remove the pipe itself (if you have access to it), cut the pipe off of the flanges, and weld 2 small circular plates to the flanges themselves to cover the holes where the pipe was. Once that is done, the old flanges become block of plates. Slap on some new gaskets and reattach.
So how much trouble was the engine removal ? And now that you are expert at it how long do you think it would take to remove it?
