This is the kind of reply that makes VV so helpful.  I strongly second 
Brent's recommendation about the exhaust manifolds.  If you don't want to keep the 
smog logs then I'm sure someone who wants them (they are rare--just not real 
desirable) will swap a good pair of non smog manifolds for them.  I would 
replace your blocked off SMOG logs at your earliest convenience for the reasons 
Brent cited.
