I say take it off NOT that hard to do...three bolts and you can efficiently clean and dry it w/o worrying about anything getting into the manifolds and ***** shit up.

On the 96-99 vortec the EGR sits on the front of the motor between the a/c compressor and thermostat housing. Clean it and by a new gasket with a screen on it from your autoparts store to help keep it clean. If you need help pm me.
