The CHP isn't going to smog your car. Do some homework on the engine you want. Pre-74 cars had no catalytic converters but all 70's cars had thermostatic bypass switches and thermoactive air cleaners, all cars after 1968 had PCV valves (which are a good idea anyway) My 1968 has a two line vacuum advance, termo air cleaner and PCV valve. But many cars had smog pumps as far back as 1968 that pumped air into the heads. Heads which were very poor performers, all will be verified by the BAR and recorded, and reverified every 2 years by your local smog station.
Many industrial and truck engines of the period were smog control free. You really need to document everything. Part numbers, shop manual data. Old photos would be good to have.
Good Luck.
