i did an emissions delete on mine recently.. off the top of my head this is what i remember, i will try to get pics in daylight... after jury duty tomorrow.

the EGR valve is on the bottom of the intake manifold, plumbed over from the rear side of the exhaust manifold, you will need a plate to block off the egr port on the intake mani (or fid a way to plug it) and a pipe plug for the exhaust side once the EGR pipe is removed.
smog pump goes, air injection rail above exhaust side goes, VERY hard to find a correct plug for those holes!!! i made a set for mine out of 14mm solid bar, threaded and with a slit on the end for a flat screwdriver. ( i will look to figure out what the thread pitch is i want to say 1.25 but not posative.)
you will need a few vacuum plugs, etc... to close off the open vacuum ports on the intake manifold. and maybe one on the weber?

its pretty straight forward but MUCH easier if you have the manifolds removed. almost all of it but the air pump are a huge pain to get to with them on. if you have a manual for the truck it makes it easier to track down what goes where but being 30+ years old there isnt a lot to remove.

you will be amazed how clean the engine bay looks without all that junk in the way! and one less belt running off your engine (you will only need one pulley running off of the crank unless you have A/C)
