In dallas they hook to the PCM, make sure its the same year or newer pcm/tune, check for functionality, error codes and verify driveability checks. Next, they may put you on the rollers and install a tailpipe sniffer and check emissions. Be sure you have the cats installed for the visibility section of the inspection.

haha. makes me feel better about TN emissions.
they just plug it up, look underneath to see if it "looks like" you have cats, & check the gas cap seal. i was actually talking to the guy about my engine swap this year
00 FRC - just top end, exhaust, and a hot-air intake
99 Sierra - 5.3 / 5spd

Thanks for the info guys. I also sent a email to a guy I know through my job who works at a local shop and does inspections. He said the same thing, that as long as I don't have any check engine light and keep the emissions in place then it shouldn't be a problem. I miss the old days when you payed 12.50 for a basic inspection. I had a 83 Silverado with a gutted cat and nothing else and it passed every year no problem. At least Texas isn't as bad as California.
