Ok, your "new" engine has the insulated bypass, your old engine has the EGR blank off plate, marry the two. There are several posts in this forum that detail the EGR delete process. To your point, rather than cutting off the smallish gray neck, remove the EGR and tubing, and fashion a sheet metal "bottlecap" and affix to the stub end using the same clamp that already exists in the system.
Reference the attached picture below, the red circle being where the bottlecap is applied and the yellow line indicating all of the stuff that can be removed to clean up the engine bay.
