Default about that time for smog in CA. any smog tips?

1997 Civic Lx, basic all stock for daily driver.
What tune ups should i do?
Should i run some seafoam? if so, how many days or miles to run seafoam before smog?
How about 'Guaranteed To Pass Emissions Test Formula'?
Should i run that too?
Thanks for the help,
just trying to get the car ready to pass smog.

Skip the gimmicks. Just do an ignition system tune up and fix any CEL codes.
