need help fast on chicago emissions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK guys i am about to buy a 89 RS that has been converted to a carburated engine. ALL of the pollution stuff has been removed except for the cat. I know that it will be hard to pass emissions, but i should be able to pass. UNLESS they do a visual. The three times that i have had to go for emissions they have never look under the hood or car. But does anyone know if chicago does a visual inspection on certain cars? Or do they only do that if you fail? If there is not a visual i should be fine.
Thanks
Tom
P.S. I know i posted this in two forums and i apologize, but i need an answer today.

In Chicago you will have three atempts to pass. After that the hood gets open and a visual inspection takes place.

Open up some small vacuum leaks. Then lower the idle to below 1000 to compensate, and take the test. Don't run for too long like that.
