i am about to install a pair of hooker competition shorty headers and i am going to plug the a.i.r. lines from the smog pump too, will this have a problem with inspection here in NJ (the smog pump doesnt work anyway and doesnt have a belt going to it and it still passes)

also how good are aluminum header gaskets? i bought a pair at my local speed shop cuz i was told they were the best, should i have gone with copper?

lastly, getting ready to throw these headers in, is there any advice i should have for this? or just have at it?

thanks,
