What is the Difference btw an EGR Cat and a Non-EGR Cat? 200

Hello all, I have looked at threads for two days and have not been able to find an answer to my question. What is going on is BOTH my 240's are down for the count and I am driving my 1956 Chevrolet truck everyday now so I could really use some help :) My 1991 240 Wagon has the EGR stuff on it, it also has the O2 sensor behind the flange of the Cat (so it's in the pipe before the Cat) anyway, the rattling STOPPED, not a good sign, kind of like when the drums stop you know you are about to be attacked. Anyway, the rattle stopped, then I got a check engine light several days later. The code I pulled says the O2 sensor is bad. Since the Cat is bad, and was rattling etc right next to the O2 sensor, it makes sense. I don't want to drive the thing with a stopped up Cat, so I parked it until I could figure out what to do. Then my 87 quit because of fuel issues (another thread). So, all the Cats I find say "Non EGR" So I am wondering, what is involved in removing all the EGR stuff? Is it just a matter of changing exhaust manifolds, head pipes and replacing the EGR computer with a Non EGR computer (Dan, you out there?) Here in Texas, I only have another year on the treadmill fof the emissions test, then it will be SAFETY sticker Only from now on. So I really want to femove ALL of the EGR STUFF and would appreciate some help figuring out what I need to do to remove all of it for good. Any help or advise welcome :)
