Installing a 89 vette L98 in my 87 Camaro. Which exhaust manifolds do I need so I can connect the egr?

Pretty sure the Vette EGR just taps into one of the A.I.R. ports into the exhaust manifold. Maybe someone knows for sure.

Those manifolds won't work in a 3rd gen. So the question is, can you adapt that tube to a 3rd gen manifold? I've heard of members doing it with headers, not sure it works with manifolds.

sdparts.com used to have an EGR kit for their Vortec TPI manifold. You might want to give them a call and see if they still offer it (couldn't find it on their website).
