Its a pain. Its also only in the Maricopa county/ Phoenix area and Tucson. Most of the outlying areas are not required, unless you commute to Phoenix or Tucson for work.
I know....I had forgotten that cats didn't come on till 75 or 76. Up until the mid 90's smog was required back to '66. Because 76 is the cut off year for exemptions now, all vehicles smogged here are required to have cats.
