I'll be living in Orange, Riverside or San Diego counties, not sure where yet.

Hans:

You will have a little trouble with the SMOG nazi's, but luckily it's not extremely difficult to get an exemption for the non-CARB approved headers.
You will need the air pump and all the smog hoses installed if your system doesn't already have them.
And the car will have to pass the emissions test, I'll have to go dig up my last one to see what the #'s are.

Welcome to the left coast.
Too bad you're moving so far south, it's not my favorite part of the state.
That being said, San Diego is pretty, but it's $$$ to live there.
Riverside gets mighty hot and smoggy in the summertime.
The OC just plain sux.
