Fix the purge if you can but it should be unrelated to the EGR.
You will find that a lot of parts on these cars are NLA.

Thanks for the opinion.
I am also doing a detail cleaning with detergent and water and toothbrush while I am in there. I use a shop vac to vacuum out the muddy residue while rinsing with water from a spray bottle. Anything that is still there after that cleaning gets Q-Tip/Gasoline touch up.
I am going to unplug any available connectors and rinse contacts with electrical contact cleaner and then put a bit of dielectric grease on them before remating.
I am also CONSIDERING redoing the chromate on the fuel lines that mount on the collector to restore them back to the original yellow that has diminished over the past 23 years.
I ask about this stuff because I am in California and passing smog is a hard stop for registration here every other year (I am an odd-year smog check registrant, so, HURRAY, welcome to 2021!). It is exciting and challenging to amend things that have gone astray with the couple of old cars I have.
