To fail a vehicle because it doesn't have all the stuff under the hood even though it passes the sniffer with flying colors is absurd. They get you coming and going out here.
The next step is compare the cost of the MSD Atomic vs. an LS swap. Might be pretty close when you consider the hoops the smog Nazis will put you through on the LS swap. Those guys are actually pretty clueless, and they've been known to nit-pick engine swaps to death, trying to find fault wherever they can.
