In Eastern Washington they don't even visually check your vehicle. Newer vehicles all they do is plug in to your computer and check for codes and on my older vehicle it's 100% based on the tail pipe sniffer reading while holding engine rpm's around 2,500 for about 15 seconds. No popping of the hood, no getting out of the car or anything.
@KevinV Good luck either way. Unless this 93' Fox is some holy grail heck of a find I would pass on it if emissions parts were removed and you need to pass emissions. It's most likely not just the smog pump that's missing but also the TAB/TAD valves and plumbing including the piping to the back of the heads and vacuum lines.
It's easy removing emissions, it's a heck of a time putting it back on from scratch.
