egr removal question

[CamaroRacing12]

so i went to remove my egr, (i already have longtube headers w/emissions) i capped the headers, capped the back of the intake... but that metal piping that goes from the back of the intake to the header is being a pain, i cant get to the nut on the small plate on the header in the back... looks liek the tranny dipstick tube is wedged right in there...

anyone deal with this b4?

any tricks? any info?

thx guys

edit: if its impossible to get off unless i remove the header can i just leave that piping connected? will it hurt? lose any power? etc etc?
