Default quick smog ?

So I just got my headers and catback in the mail and as my car is just about 100% original im just taking a precaution here. I am using a O/R H that my cousin gave me and the smog hose pipe on it was crimped closed (for obvious reasons) now since my smog system still operates fine and i have no intention of disconnecting it for the time being am I going to run into an issue when it comes to running the car? since I basically have to plug that smog line closed, will it throw a code? I am still going to hook up theO2's and everything but that seems to be the only thing thats gonna be disconnected. My car is running too mint, and Id rather not rig **** up. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you will have to un-crimp that smog hose pipe so you can plug in the smog pipe from you car when you put it on....not 100% sure tho

I would also just uncrimp it and run it like it should be.

I will have to look at the pipe again it seemed too bent to salvage...

If its a long pipe with the end crimped... just cut it 1/4 inch down from the crimp... solved
