I'd be looking for vacuum leaks around the carb and intake. Choke could be sticking too.

What did you put in place of the EGR valve? A proper plate and gasket I hope?
Only time I ever get rid of an EGR valve is when they fail. If they work fine, I just leave them be.

If you ever do remove it, do it right, and get a distributor from an earlier truck without EGR, and set it to the timing specs from that truck.

older dist timing curve will be set up for non egr.
If you keep egr, you can run more timing on 87 gas.
