Depends on where you live and what "emissions legal" means to you.
Otherwise you just need a non-CC carb and non-CC distributor....then change some wiring around.

There really isnt any reason to change, the CCC is a pretty good setup. I run one on my T/A and love it. I guess I beat five7 to saying the ccc is worth keeping. But I think the money to change would be better spent on other mods.
