Heres how you start.

Remove the intake hoses

remove the throughtle body

remove the Y pipe

the egr assembly will be hard to remove because its all tied up together.

I'l see if i can upload a pic for you.

Here are various threads that I have compiled on how to clean/remove the EGR system. Not sure which threads are to clean or remove but just go over them:

you will need to buy the plates or make some. It is pretty easy. I did it on my Z. Do you have emission testing. It makes it harder to pass...

Charcoal canister.If you dont mind your car smelling like Gas, then you dont need it. Just remove the interior of the gas cap to vent freely.

I hope you do not have emission testing where you live since your car will not pass the test.If you don't have testing now, trust me, it is just a matter of time, big brother (the Gov-ment will be breathing down your back)is on there way. Plus you are affecting it's resale value as well...
