I think a lot depends on what the state wants to see coming out from your tailpipe.
Here in NJ my 1990 Mustang passes inspection no problem with no air pump, no thermactor hooked up, but egr/cats are still on.
Keep the cats. Removing things like EGR in most states won't get anyone's feathers ruffled, but if you remove cats you can get yourself into some hot water.
A lot depends on how well the car is tuned. With a well tuned carb and good ignition system you may not have that bad of emissions. Running overly rich or lean will make you fail.
1982 emissions I'd imagine are rather lenient. (hell I'm betting on it, I just removed the air pump/thermactor/egr from my '82 Mustang this past week)
