You should be good to go for years now. You got it before it caused you any damage and I commend you on your effort. That Felprogasket looks a lot better than the AC delco I used.
Did you clean the EGR port?

I didn't do anything to the EGR port. I do believe someone already had as the EGR Valve already had a screened gasket installed (which I replaced with another screened gasket).
I just bought this Blazer last week, as is, from a used car lot that had bought from a CarMax in KC, KS in April of 2004. Said they drove it 100 miles home, when they came back to it the battery was dead (has some blasted alarm system on it that probably ran it down, I need to remove this), it sat awhile longer before they put a new battery in it and it would start. So it has esentially sat for over a year. I could tell, the previous had taken good care of the care mechanically and cosmteically. It ended up being a one owner from a guy that worked at the GM Fairfax plant in KC, he had bought it as a Demo (all paper work was with the vehicle saying so) with 3967 mile on it. I got it with just over 110K on it. I did no cleaning tot he engine compartment prior to taking my photos.
Very happy with my Blazer and getting ready to get a stereo system for it. You win some and you lose some, but I'm very pleased with my purchase, even though my father-in-law couldn't understand me buying a car as-is and having to tear the engine apart to replace what is photographed in this thread to fix it.
