it's not like you have to pay a fine or anything, so just go
i have a JDM motor in my supra, i have a catback and no EGR or anything and i passed with flying colors (emissions-wise)...only thing they ALMOST failed me for was my freaking windshield wipers, the car sat for a few years and they dryrotted...the guy told me they'd let it slide but to replace them ASAP

An engine swap into a pre 96 car doesn't even have to be brought up to a inspection station since anything 95 and older goes on the dyno regardless or gets sniffed at least. (other then diesel).
His situation is a bit more difficult since he is a 96 (OBDII) with a pre OBD engine and computer in it. So they would try to plug in to the car and see there is no communication, and then he would fail. Yes he would then have 45 days to fix the problem...but there is no fix.
To my knowledge, vehicles with swaps have to be swapped with a engine that is newer then the vehicle. This poses a problem for you. If I were you I'd call the state to see what you can do.
