the cat.
and i had a e16se in my nova that had a carb fitted a fook me did that fly
and all you will need is to cut away the injection wiring out of you loom and the rest will be the same on your loom just about

im assured that my nova will get through an mot with no cat. and i will probably do it, i like the reliability of an injection but carbs are just more powerful

well, going back to my original question, is that all i would need then? 14 inlet and carb, and regulator?

err nope,cams different, as its lift is designed for carb and dizzy, and the cutout is different from the 1.2 spi one, and the housing has the fuel pump hole aswell. your spi loom is all in one including the in car loom, which is a ball ache to cut out and sort. so carbs are more powerfull? why are all modern tuners and mappers using bodies? because power comes with control, ecu and bodies (injection) = more control than a set of carbs. that means more power. sorry hunny. ;)
