In California 1972 vehicles are not reqired to be smogged. However CHP can pull you over and if you are in a area of Calif. that requires smog (some remote areas are excempt) a CHP officer (only CHP) can ask to check your smog devices (if he has reasonable suspension). Calif. rules say you are not allowed to remove or alter any smog related device.
Yes I have been harassed on this in the passed on my 71. A CHP did want to tag me for an improper Air Cleaner assy.
Most CHP's don't care. But there are some that...well???
