Always a good move to remove emission items on the early cars, they never did work properly and were only there for the manufacturers to gain Euro standard emissions (drive-by noise reduction valve on the exhaust is a classic example - replacement exhausts aren't equipped with this component)

I used to work on a lot of American cars from the late 60's and early 70's and they had so much useless junk on them that a 5.7 litre V8 would only produce 210bhp....after we stripped off air injection, early pellet type catalytic converter, restricted inlet manifold, EVAP....and so much more junk to satisfy the Californian emissions rules. After that we were getting a respectable 280bhp output from the engine and the thing would still run incredibly clean on emissions
