Default EGR block off? on a 8.1L

If i can get a few hours today ill have the motor back together.. are you all keeping the EGR or blocking it off. I know on the camaros we blocked it off... I just dont recall any one doing it on the 8.1L

Thanks

I blocked mine off but I also had the computer reprogramed so I wouldn't have any issues. I just made a block off plate for it and one for my headers.
