technically all smog equipment it came with needs to be on there, no one is going to know what it came with, maybe with a good converter you can get it to pass the sniffer and the inspector wont know what else belongs on there

I believe it absorbs vapors from the fuel tank. Engine vacuum purges it while the car is running.
If you didn't live in a state with a hard on for owners of older cars, it wouldn't be so bad. In Virginia, if the car has a cat, you're fine. But you will probably have to put it back pretty near stock. I'm sure they'll be looking for the air pump and cats and it probably won't be that easy to pass the sniffer unless your car is tuned pretty lean. Good luck!
