I don't know what Illinois' testing procedure is, and if they look for missing smog equipment, but my '77 L48 passes the more strict version of the Missouri test (uses a dyno/treadmill for at-speed tests, not just idle testing) without a problem - in fact it runs as clean as most modern cars. All factory smog junk is gone, no catalytic converters, true dual exhaust, but it has the stock cast-iron manifolds.
