Default Smog Ref Station Recommendation in CA, Bay Area

I swapped a 95 LS B18B1 into my 92 EG Si. Everything is legal, and it came out from my previous Integra LS.
I am using the LS cat, ok?
I don't know if I connected everything correctly, I am using the LS P75 ecu, and the existing si wiring harness. That should be ok right?
What should I check to see if I connected everything correctly?
Where do you guys suggests me to go for a easy smog ref station, that wouldn't give me a hard time? I am in the east bay.
Any tips before I bring the car in?

thanks

one more question, do i need to hook up the knock sensor for this? some say i do and some say i don't, i am lost. If I do, can someone please provide me with the information.

edit: no check egine light at all, even thought no knock sensor

Using the LS cat sould be fine. Using the LS ecu.. as long as its USDM (which im sure it is) your fine. To make sure everything is connected correctly make it match the helms as much as you can. thats the best advice i can give you.

I went to the ref in Fremont, Warm Springs rd...regarding knock sensor, yes, you need to install that or you'll get a check engine light. Tips..make sure that you're motor had plenty of time to warm up, replace plugs, oil and drive it hard at least 10 minutes before your test. Put 91 octane (although I passed with 89). The fee is $30 bux (2 tries), worst thing if you fail, they'll give you a print out as to why and you can go from there...if you fail twice, then just pay another $30 bux for another set of 2 tests. Good luck

Good enough...the ref did not check mine anyway...all he did was count how many wires my O2 sensor had (4 wires)...he didnt even know that I was running non obd. Although, I cant guarantee if he'll check your knock sensor or not. If you can install it, you're better off in case they check.
