I've always deleted them on all my 5.0's...they are both to COOL the EGR spacer from hot exhaust gas running though all the time AND to prevent throttle shaft icing...however I've never experienced throttle shaft icing issues, but I did experience brake booster check valve freezing issues in extreme cold....absolutely no power assist until underhood temps got up...related? I doubt it.

Good luck,
Don

To see that both you and Dominator have deleted those hoses without issue gives me a lot of peace of mind Don. Thanks as always for the feedback. I think you're in a colder climate than I am. I'm in Zone 6 and I think you're in Zone 5.
