Wanted to post about my BAR experience. The process isn't bad at all, I didn't pass because I didn't have the speed sensor wire hooked up to the ECU (I was told the M50NV wasn't looking for it... totally wrong) I also barley failed on emissions, but they ran the test after it sat for 20 minutes. I hooked up the wire, paid for a smog pre test locally and passed emissions with flying colors when its warmed up for a few minutes. He also scanned the computer and confirmed it was hooked up. I've got an appointment next Wednesday, I'm hoping for a pass!
TLDR; Hook everything up even if others say its not needed.

my experience
OBD1 s50 swap notes:
Don't buy used cats.
No need for CARB approved intake for OBD1 but use OE intake boot.
EVAP test (LPFET) was marked N/A after confirming a proper seal was not possible on the E30 style gas cap. (failed for this initially but got confirmation from 5 pretest smog shops)
As usual, drive for 30 mins on the freeway before going onto the rollers.
Swap should look "clean" in the engine bay. No excessive exposed wiring, etc.
Took me three tries to finally get through the process.

Just to reiterate the validity of what kronus said, this is from the BAR website. Note the 95 and older model year does not require an EO, provided emissions controls are still functioning. So, don't touch anything after the MAF and you're good. If its obd2 (1996 and newer) you have to have a CARB/EO number.

So to get off topic a little bit, if your smogging your m20, would a cone filter fail?
