You can block it off, it won`t hurt anything.

Not sure if we are talking about the same thing but my EGR valve would stick open any time I would drive for over 5 min at 3500 RPMs. When I would exit the highway and come to a stop it would idle terribly and then die. It would not restart until about 2 minutes later when I would hear a little pop sound from the back of the carb. I pulled the vac hose to the EGR valve and blocked it with a small bolt and it has been running great ever since.

Yeah, as long as the valve isn't stuck open, you're ok just plugging off the vacuum hoses. I think you'd know if it was stuck open, cause your truck would run like crap, if at all.
