Are you refering to the AIR system or EGR system. I assume you mean the EGR system. The 01-02 cars don't have it, but your car did and still requires it for inspection. If your gonna get over on the inspectors your gonna need to remove all evidence the car ever had EGR. That would mean swaping the manifold for a newer one with no EGR provisions. Even this means nothing if the inspector hapens to know what the car is supposed to have.

I have a '99 Formula and have an LS6 manifold. I was in the same boat about emissions so I had my tuner/mechanic drill a hole in the LS6 manifold and I got the Lingenfelter kit. The kit basically plugs the hole so you can mount the EGR tube. I passed the visual, passed emissions. My fear was since they hook up the car to the computer, the computer will tell them if the car was supposed to have EGR. I just did not want to deal with the hassle.

On the other hand you have people who do not know what to look for when smogging. However if you ever get sent to a smog only station and not just any place that smogs you might be in trouble.

You live in cali so it might be harder. I think there are many variables when it comes down to whether you will pass or not. State, county, shop.
