91 3.0 vacumes clogged
After inspecting my egr and vacumes I found the steel tubes over the engine were clogged from a bad egr. Got a new egr, so is it ok to bypass the steel tubes with rubber lines? Please let me know

well it just had bad idle all over, no power when i would get on it, slow to respond, i replaced a lot of them just cause one end was bad or cracked so i replaced it, i did one at a time so i wouldnt lose where they went, i would go and take a pic but just pulled motor to replace my trans as i blew it this weekend.

Have you tried using compressed air to blow out the steel line?
If your EGR spat so much gunk that it clogged the steel line, I wonder what the inside of the intake plenum looks like?
You might consider pulling the EGR tube that goes into the plenum to see... if it is caked with carbon and sludge, you should clean that too. Getting rid of that gunk really helped my 3vze run more smoothly, during acceleration and at idle.
