"Discussions" in this case should not have occurred. Had you made the
change, they would not have noticed, now you have brought it to their
attention.
NC passed my '72 B for years without an air pump or air manifold. The
pump had been removed before I bought her in the early '80s, and I
removed the air manifold since it looked "suspicious". I did nothing,
absolutely nothing special to make the car pass.
