I live in Kentucky and do not have to pass emissions. The best way to find out would be to call the DMV and ask them at the courthouse. A lot of times that will vary, even within state, as to whether or not you're required to pass emissions.

EDIT: Welcome to AF and sorry I don't have a direct answer.

Agreed, you ultimately need to check. Nobody else around you has a vehicle that requires testing? Or are you just questioning because of the fact of the cars age?

Either way, we have testing here in the Chicago area. I know some guys that have actually done the swap and passed! However, that doesn't realy say much since my car was running so rich you could smell it, but the kid at the testing station was more preoccupied with my wifes legs in her mini-skirt and stuck the test probe up the passenger pipe while the main exahust was on the driver's.

And a welcome to AF as well.
