Default what to keep/not keep *smog*

setup:
-d16y7 with y8 intake manifold
-greddy turbo kit with bov and fmic
-2.5" exhaust from downpipe back with a high flow cat
-obd1 p75 ecu chipped and tuned

problem:
-smog in cali

solutions?:
i will need to take out the obvious...the turbo and manifold, all the piping swap back to stock obd2 ecu...but i have some questions about what i can leave in to get it smogged (that is if i dont get it smogged by other means )...what can i leave in? im thinking i can leave the intercooler in, just take out the pipes, im thinking about leaving the intake manifold (because i REALLY dont want to swap back to the y7 intake mani...its a lot of work)...if i do this will i need a stock ex intake?...i was also thinking of leaving the injectors...would this be okay? or will it make me fail due to it running rich?...also since i have a y7...it has the catalytic converter that is built in to the exhaust manifold...but then i also have the high flow cat in my exhaust...this might be crazy but will it be okay if i have both cats in?...as for the oil lines im thinking of just buying something that will screw into them and plug it up temporarily...and then just hiding the lines.

any educated input appreciated...thanks in advance.

Check or Test, very important to help you out. Ill write out what you need to do thinking your going to a test only.

Intake manifold - has to go, you need the y7 or you will not pass the smog visual. Also if your going to run the y7 ecu you will need to convert back to 3wire IACV and run the y7 throttle body.

Injectors - What injectors are they? Stock? 310s, 1000s? If there stock your fine, if there anything bigger the ecu will not read them correctly and youll run like ***.

Header/O2 sensors - 2 cats is fine as long as you have your o2 sensors, if there hooked up running correctly your fine.

Oil lines - you could cap them but then theyll hang and could catch to something, if you zip time them somewhere secure then your fine. If not just remove them and plug the hole.

Intercooler - has to go, test only wont even look at your car if they see that, check probably wont care depending on the guy. If its painted black with a grill could probably pass check (again depending on the guy)

Make sure you run the intake arm with the IAT in there and all the proper smog crap. Its a fun time of every other years i know.

if you have a greddy turbo kit, the kit is carb exempt. its the FMIC, IM, and your funny ecu that isn't going to pass... the turbo kit will pass if you have all the parts that go to it.
