BimmerBum,
Thanks for the suggestion.
Since the car is an OBDII, I needed the existing ti battery location to mount the M52 air blower assembly. I can probably count on the CARB Referee closely inspecting for any missing smog control devices when it goes in for inspection.
The smog situation here is quite the police state of affairs. The muffler shop specifically told me that I must have the center cat section installed before I bring it in as they are not legally allowed to install used catalytic converters...
It would have been great to have been able to fit both in the existing battery location but I was sizing it up and it just did not look like I could fit the blower and a small battery under the hood.
You are right about the cable weight too. I did not weigh it but there is some heft to it. __________________
