egr delete with cab off...leave egr brackets off?

[lazlow]

I have the cab off and did head studs along with a full egr delete and while putting everything back together it looks like i can leave all the heavy egr brackets off since all they do is hold the egr coolers on. One stud for the vertical bracket holds the power steering line but i installed that with a spacer. Anything wrong with leaving the brackets off and not putting the bolts in?

Don't leave the bolt for the manifold off!

I have shorter bolts in place for those. Mainly speaking about the vertical bracket

Leave them off. No use for them.
