Hello,

I have an 81 aircooled westy and am looking into moving back out to
California.
A few things ive noticed with the van I have now is:

1. No CAT Converter. Not sure if there was one before, but there is just
a pipe where it would usually be.

2. No EGR. The exhaust has a pipe that looks like it would go to where
the EGR is, but its just clamped shut and where I think the EGR would
connect to the motor (that egg shaped spot) - its sealed off from the
inside.

Barring a visual inspection for original equipment, what would I need to
do to just get it so it would pass an emissions test? I dont know where
I would be on the scale currently, but im sure its not good. I have a
few holes in the crossover pipe as well, but maybe between that and the
hole for the EGR, enough exhaust gets out before my tail that I wont
read all that bad!

thanks for any tips, suggestions or misc tomfoolery.
