Default torque steer and solutions

i'm not really concerned with the torque steer while every day driving, but i was just failed at the emissions station because the car wanders on the rollers during acceleration. i searched through the archived topics and didnt really get all the answers i was looking for.
would taking the polly motor mount bushings out help with this? i also have poly installed in the front lower arms and bushingless camberkit installed in the upper arms.
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

swapping the upper control arms (drivers side to passanger side) will increase castor and cut down on torque steer.
