open the hood, on the drivers side of the car protruding from the footbox area is a long shaft, follow it until you see the "rag joint" that offers the transition from the shaft to the steering rack attached to the lower chassis. Take pictures of any mechanical joints that go from shaft to shaft and post them here.

As for the above mention of the engine, as long as the inspection station (not Asbury) sees that catalytic converters inline, they should pass it for the emissions of that year of the block. Heck, even without the converters installed I've gotten FI cars to pass the emissions tests of NJ.
