>>Mostly personal reasons having to do with lack of time,

Understandable

>>lack of tools

Need a 2 13 mm wrenches or one with a 13 mm socket, screw driver, allen
wrench, tube cutter (If you want I can cut the push rods for you, send them
to me...) snap ring pliers, and an afternoon.

>>some concern about passing California smog tests every 2 years.

If you have the chip and the rest is in good shape, should pass.

Add an adjustable pressure regulator and just turn it down a few psi for the
test.

Mine with the Chip, rockers, mild porting and other changes passed my local
emissions test.

What are the requirements for CA testing?
