[W126 Coupe] Regarding emission equipment on engines..

[Josh Allen]

I'll have to take a look at the sticker on the core support, if I can 
even find one still there!
Well, if nothing else, I suppose I can strap the O2 pump in place for 
testing, but I suspect I'm going to be going with the minimum to be 
practical, for the most part.  As I said, I don't live in a testing 
area, but as Jonathan has mentioned, there's only a couple of HP to be 
gained from dropping cats, so I might as well have that in system.  A 
little tuning for reasonable driving behavior along with a bit of 
tweaking for emissions concerns should put a well tuned EFI engine in a 
somewhat friendly state.

Thanks again.
