EGR doesn't need to be hot to work. It's the fact that there is very little oxygen in the exhaust gas. So why not tap into the y-pipe? I'd weld it. Also, be sure you're using the correct EGR valve because some are low pressure, some are high, you want the low if going off the y-pipe.
Don't go on the header, you might be able to tap into the AIR, that sounds like the easiest way to a functioning EGR. Don't worry about AIR into the headers from the smog pump, it's only used to heat up the cat and oxygen sensor faster... they heat up pretty quick with a hotter than stock motor
