I have searched. Even read all the recommended threads. Nothing applicable to a turbo 4g63 or my situation

I know:

• Boost Control Solenoid must be connected electrically or you get a code. Vac lines don't matter.
• Fuel Pressure Solenoid has been completely removed on my car for 6 years without ANY problems.

Have:

• '95 GSX with over 500 crank hp (when emissions crap, stock manifold, and EGR were still there)
• Magnus Intake Manifold (deletes EGR valve)
• DSMlink v2
• Removed charcoal canister and re-routed fuel vapor back through factory fuel return line to a relocated 1-way valve at the back of the car.
• 1g Throttle Body with lines looped.

Want:

• Clean engine bay with nothing shitty distracting from the awesomeness.
• To not get in a lib-tard legal/environmental discussion.


My question:

Can I completely remove my EGR and EVAP solenoids without causing some kinda problem or nuissance? I have never had any codes or problems with any sensor related issues on my car in 155k miles, and don't wish to start now. The equipment they regulate is not there anymore, and this is my show-car. It won trophies with all the emissions stuff in tact, but during the recent transmission replacement, the bling got out of hand and the emissions stuff lost. Lots of other stuff got relocated in the process. Now I'm cleaning up the aftermath and am curious to hear what/if/how others have done this.
 
I have removed all the vac lines from these solenoids, but left all the electrical bits plugged in, so that I don't throw a CEL. I tied off my emissions solenoids low on the firewall so they are hidden...fpr solenoid is still in stock location (laziness). I believe that if you can set up your DSMLink to ignore specific CELs, so that may be your best bet if you want to completely ditch the solenoids and have with no visual side effect.
