All emissions equipment needs to be in place for the original engine as well.

The emissions equipment requirement is a bit tough to meet for the newer motors. Also, i've heard of people being held up for not using the California version of their ecu. In other words, they don't want to pass you using a federal ecu.
It's a quagmire for sure. Even when swapping for dramatically cleaner motors, you can still end up getting screwed.
Like I said, the ref is there to keep you from doing stuff like this. Not to make sure your vehicle is running right.
