What's tested for car inspection now?

Just wondering if I take my(hopefully) 93 camaro through inspection this year what they test and how it'll pass? I've had a car hooked up to the computer and leave and i've had them inspect the crap outta it for 15 minutes, sniffer test it and then get confused for another 5minutes if they call it a trans am or firebird on the paper work....
Car will just have a full exhaust with catted Y.

All cars that originally came from the factory manufactured with a catalytic converter(s) are checked for said catalytic converter(s)

But, they are the same engine and car, why would they test differently?

I thought 95 was OBDII with an OBDI connector or something weird

I'm thinking I should just get a TSP ORY and weld up a magnaflow cat after the merge? Yes? Being a registered 93 they wont even attempt a computer hook up so..

Inspection is by VIN.

Thought so. That means they should give it the visual and sniffer test and be done?

Yes, what they do is enter the vin, they take a clamp that reads electric pulses (rpm) and they clamp it on one of ur spark plug wires, and then put sniffer in it. They run the car at lets say 1500 and then lets say 2500 rpm for the test.
