Your car is a 1972 and therefore does not have to have any of the equipment since you're not in California. Your engine will make more power and have better driveablity without the EGR and charcoal canister.

its still illegal to remove emissions controls
Even if the engine thats equipped with emissions is installed in a Bodystyle and year of a vehicle that wasnt?
For example taking a 1978 Smog 318 and installing it in a 67 Satelitte?

Some emissions equipment does not have a downside other than cluttering up the bay. Things like The charcoal canister, Air aspirator tubes/valves, and PCVs. Others rob power like smog pumps Others prevent max power from being produced like EGR valves, Catalytic converters. The above is only some of the old school stuff, on a 'modern car' (like anything post 85 ) the paraphenalia can be mindboggling and removing it difficult.

I call BS on that one, an EGR cools cylinder temp therefore making an engine run more cleaner and more efficient. Producing more power. As far as a charcoal cannister and the smog pump, they pull an engine down. Ditch them if ya can.
If EGR's made power wouldn't most guys run one? It actually does the opposite, hot exhaust gas entering the intake heats up the incoming charge and basically pollutes the mixture. Even most oem egr setups shut off the egr at wot/under high load because it robs power or at least can cause pinging/detonation.
