You can remove the stock clutch fan, but you're gonna have to replace it with something. (i.e. an electric fan).
If you want to be completely 100% legal, you can't remove a single emissions piece. But if you live in a state where there are no emissions requirements -- 100% legal may not be an issue.
If you're selling it down the road to a performance enthusiast, they're probably going to remove the emissions anyway.
It might help you sell it, rather than not!

Gut out all the emissions,swap to e-fan, p/s, a/c ... etc etc. Just go nuts, remove the interior and everything else you can see that doesnt have a purpose for now

What part of illinois do you live in? I know closer to St. Louis there aren't any emissions tests because it's considered rural. If you live in rural illinois, go ahead and remove all the emissions stuff and gut your cat.

i asked this question in another thread.. (with the wrong topic) so ill re ask it here...
regardless of y pipe or true duals... dual mufflers during a emmisions test should help right? cutting the total exhaust in half.... %50 to right 1 and %50 to left 1.
During the inspection test they put 1 sensor in one pipe.. so it seems that the readings would be half the total.
So could I run a gutted cat and no airpump in a inspection state... (dont worry about the looks of it, my buddy does the inspecting... but he cant lie to the computer about the levels.
I think it should blow clean enouf to pass with duals and no cat/gutted cat...?...
