Well, gutted all 3 cats, pulled the y pipe too, checked that it was clear. Of course, now have incredible throttle spool up, lots of noise (would that be a V8 under my hood? 
) and a garbage bag full of illegal evidence
Since I was on a roll, I pulled the UIM and checked my coolant leak. It was right at the nipple going into the block from the TB. Pulled all piping from the BAC and TB.
Turn out that the stock hose that runs from the water pump to the BAC will reroute perfectly so that it now runs from the WP to the block. It fits great under the UIM, runs right along the top of the block. So leak solved, some clutter removed...and a HIGH IDLE!!! AAAHHH!
Now to plan on the TB mod, huh?

Oh, for you Northern and Easterners...
EVERY nut on the exhaust system broke loose with a simple wrench, then spun off by hand. I LOVE living in Arizona

Yeah, mine broke loose too, but with a million foot-pounds of torque and a pop when the bolt sheared off!
Damn rust!
