Here'* a write up on that code. https://www.gmforum.com/showthread.p...00#post1391437
Try to locate the vacuum leak. With the EGR code, the leak might be in the EGR tube, these are a bit harder to find so you may have to remove the tube and hold it up to the light. They do get brittle and crack. This could be a big part of your problem.

You can block it off, but will need to block both ends. Those of us with intercoolers can't run the EGR, so ya, a EGR delete is possible. If you have access to a member with HPtuners you can have them change the turn on temp to 284* and then it will never turn on. If the valve is closed, just unplug it.
