I've always had older v-8s and this is my first expierience with all these new systems. I know my cats have been removed, so how do i tell if the AIR and EGR systems have been removed?

is there a black hose going to the top of your intake manifold?? are there metal lines going to each header(one on each header)?? Is the EGR sylenoid on the passenger side by the throttle body still there?? thats where the AIR and EGR connects are go check, if all that is on your car you have EGR and AIR, if not then its been deleted.

On your right( pass side) You will see a tube that runs off the manifold or header. It comes up too the front of the engine, you should see the egr, also check the front of your manifold, the tubes runs there too.
Now on the front and top of your manilfolds you may or not see another set of tubes, these are metal and run up int oa check valve. tHEN FROM THERE ITS A RUBBER HOSE's that wind there way to the front left of your car. the air pump is hid under the core

NO

highly unlikely to pass any emissions related inspection with no cats.
