No you need the EGR valve as these gases need to be vented from the crankcase. An EGR unit that has failed will cause your vehicle to run rough and use more fuel. The three letters in EGR stand for " Exhaust Gas Return". If your valve has failed it is best to replace it.
+_+_+ Actually the above answer is wrong. EGR valve system is used to add a small amount of exhaust gas to the combustion chamber for emission purposes. It also keeps the temperature of you engine lower. It is not active at idle or at WOT (wide open throttle) when they fail they put the exhaust gasses in the combustion chamber at idle making it run rough. IT IS NOT NECESSARY! Block off plates can be purchased or created. +_+_+
+_+_+ PCV Stands for Positive crankcase ventilation and that is a small device in the valve cover. +_+_+
YES, Direct bolt on.
Yes, but I don't know why you would want to use them on a 350. 305's are limited as far as valve size is concerned because their small bore causes clearance problems with the large valve heads... Larger valves will actually hit the block on a 305. Just about ANY 350 head is better than ANY 305 heads.

Could be--valve not closing completely
The 305 Chevy could not fire for several reasons. The crank sensor could be bad, the coil could have failed or there could be a loss of power to the ignition circuit.
14093627 is listed on Mortec as an 87-94 305 block.
Depending on equipment. Could have a 305 or 350 small block.
the block & heads are the same you just have to pull the 305 out & put the 350 back in
Replace the gasket, make sure the cover isn't dented from people just trying to tighten it down to stop the leak.
No. 305's have small valves due to the 305's small bore. Large valve heads can't be used on the 305 because the valves will hit the cylinder block. 350 heads breathe MUCH better than 305 heads. Stick with the 350 heads.
yes
Could be several things, however, it is probably an exhaust leak, or in the valve trane. I would start by checking the oil, however, as this is a warning sign, of it being low.
