Talking 97 camaro ss t56 engine build advice needed

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and happy to be here. I have a 97 camaro ss t56 car that is almost completely stock except for the 4.10 gears that were swapped in place of the original 3.42 gears. Unfortunately I live in the smog capital of the world California, I am currently preparing to revive my ss that has been sitting in my parents garage for what seems like the last 5 years, that is if my 58 Chevy apache sells this weekend, I have a motivated buyer flying in from Florida to look at it and this sale will provide the funds to revive my ss. My question is ( sorry if this topic has been beaten to death but I have lacked finding definitive information on this) does anyone have any complete build specs for a Ca. Smog legal lt1/lt4 build. I also have a set of edelbrock lt4 gen x heads that I purchased about 5 years ago to, I say this so that everyone knows what I am currently working with. Any information would be greatly appreciate. Thank you all.

I'm not that familiar with California rules, but I saw here is a link for a set of new ceramic coated CARB legal headers:

They aren't the best for power, but I don't think anyone makes a CARB legal set anymore, so I would go for these.

Thank you rjc1629,
I appreciate the info, and It sucks to be a car nut in California, and try to keep compliant with smog. It's almost as if they expect us to drive priuses around and be happy. ..lol
