That's my understanding as well.  My girlfriend's '71 Nova obviously has no
cat, and she is not legally required to have one.  But if I remove the cat
from my '83 BMW it's a federal offense!  If I didn't want a cat, I should've
gotten a '77-'79 320i, which didn't have them and, like the Nova, are not
required to.
