You can pick up new boost nipples from ebay for a couple of quid. Thats the normal way of blocking egr vacuum pipes, you could always unblock them and put up with the vacuum leak, but considering it supplies your brake servo i'm not sure that'd be too clever. I guess you could cut out the extra length of vac hose and block it nearer the solenoid...
I agree with poodle, thats how 90% od people disconnect the egr and tap the inlet elbow. You could remove the egr system completely but that would mean removing the engine to do so, i'd just remove the inlet elbow replace the nipple fit a egr blank at the same time if its not aleady done and put a new gasket on. Sure the location the nipple has been tapped is a bit low but once fitted how often do you remove it, saves buying a new elbow and retapping that.
