The EGR purpose is to introduce exhaust gases to the combustion chamber to lower combustion temp (NOX). It is fine for an emissions legal car but not ideal for a street driven performance engine. Usually, the EGR is eliminated with the ECM re-burn. But the by-pass kit is easier if not doing a full conversion. The eliminator kit will take it out of its' misery. The kit did not include a MIL eliminator?

I note that different 5.0 configurations have different intake upper manifolds. I have no idea what car the motor came out of nor what year. I'd like to clear up those points but I don't want to remove the starter for the year.

Correct. The 5.0L went through a lot of developments/upgrades and there were several versions for differing applications. It is going be just like ID'ing a FYB. All Casting ID NOS are going to have to be found and recorded. Then you can cipher as to what is there.
Did the car ever go through CA EMISSIONS?
