Nope, there are maybe three hoses that have to do with EGR, the rest of the hoses have to do with the auto choke, the warm air intake thermostat controls, the fuel cut off for when you shut the engine off or engine brake, 3/4 of them have to do with the engine not running lean and burning up and to do with better mileage.
The only reason I recommend buying another carb is so you have a 2nd set of parts in case anything is broken or missing or if something does go wrong, you can also take your time in rebuilding it without taking your car appart, instead of doing what I did and taking it appart one evening and having to be at work the next morning, so my car had to be put back together and working a few hours later, it all worked out well and it was the first time I did a carb rebulid, but I like taking things appart..
