Have a look at Lindsay Porter's How to purchase and restore your MGB.
This book has a section which describes well how this job has to be done.
Some parts maybe kept on the car, because they don't influence the engine
running really like the carbon filter for the fumes from the gastank, rocker
cover and if applicable carb float chambers.
Cheers,
Hans

Well, I (actually my '76 MGB) finally passed WA emissions! It was a
struggle. First test I failed on HC, so I re-attached the air pump and
plugged a few vacuum leaks & adjusted the carb. Took it in for test 2 and
passed on HC and failed on CO! So I took it to the local shop (Thanks
Performance) & they tweaked it enough to pass. Well due to fact that in WA
they just changed the law so that cars that are < 5 YO or > 25 YO are exempt
I won't have to get it done again!!
Now my question is, if I were to de-smog (which of course I wouldn't do
because it's illegal) what would I want to remove/block off for maximum
efficiency?
Thanks,
