Does 2002 Chevy Avalanche Have EGR Valve or Air Pump?

Hi. I need to know if a 2002 Chevy Avalanche has an air pump and an EGR valve. My truck failed the smog check because the smog technician says it's missing the EGR valve. I am not able to find it either. I need to know if this truck came with one. Also I can not find an air pump. It didn't fail for that and the technician didn't mention anything... so I didn't mention anything, so i just need to know. Does it have, or is it supposed to have an EGR and/or Air Injection system (smog pump)? Thank you.
Answer:

Assuming your 2002 Chevy Avalanche is equipped with a 5.3 liter engine, according to the Motor Emissions Application Guide, it should be equipped with a Linear type EGR valve, but not an air injection system. The EGR valve is electronically controlled and located on the front right hand side of the engine. posted by SmogTips Support
