How to set up an engine to pass an emission test?

The engineer has given me the green light to do the conversion i want as long as it meets or exceeds the emission standards of the old motor (3.5 EFI).
There is a risk that i could complete the conversion and have it fail the test meaning a lot of wasted time and money. I'd much rather get it setup right the first time so that it passes the test and then concentrate on extracting more power later on. :lol:
What would be a good way of setting the motor up so that it passes? It will be an EFI on dual fuel (to start with).

What is the distinction between straight gas or dual fuel - will i have to remove the fuel tank to prove its straight gas?

If it's a diesel, fill up on BIO DIESEL and run it for two hours. Then go and pass the test!

Ive done this for my HJ-60 cruiser, and my 2L powered LWB samurai!

could ya just rip the petrol tank out and leave the lines in, then put it back in after the test.....or do all the lines and sh*t have to be removed?
