If you can get a stock carb for that vehicle swap that on. Carbs are hard to hide. Sometimes you can get away with hiding the manifold. Paint it the color of the rest of the engine, smear a light coat of chassis lube or dirt from other parts of the engine on it and drive lotsa dirt roads, hehe. If it doesnt have the egr or other shit required you gotta swap it for the stock manifold. If the car was equiped with a smog pump your screwed. For the cats you can have a shop put flanged cats on. Have them make a test pipe also and just swap em after inspection. Good luck
