First off, are you gonna tag/register it in your AO? Or a trailer Queen?
If you ripped it out, would you be able to get it inspected/passed?
I ripped all of it out of my '85, and will not put in a CAT when I do the custom exhaust. In fact the donor engine for the "Clifford swap" was an '82 due to the fact it has less emmissions ports to close up.
Here in NJ, I'll go for QQ tags (classic), and all I'm required to inspect is safety stuff. I know a private shop that will inspect a QQ vehicle.
Bessie will be parked on a pad on my property, and be trailered wherever she goes, but it's insured through USAA. So, I need to have it "legal".
Hope this helps.
