AIR, EGR, EFE, plus a catalytic converter. Myabe something else I'm missing. A nasty tangle of tubes and plumbing. Most cars of this vintage had that stuff torn out by owners many years ago -- and in some states this can cause real headaches.
What does Missouri inspection require? How old does the car have to be before it becomes exempt?

On my '79, they did not do a visual inspection, nor did they run it up on the treadmill like the newer cars. They raised the hood to connect a tachometer lead and they just checked emissions at idle.

OK thanks, I may just run it in and see what kind of verdict they give me.

My engine, etc. is original, so let me know if you need help with vacuum hose routing, etc.
