If it had a 78 or 79 SC engine in it, you might be able to just show up to a smog station and get it smogged, since it would have the same smog stuff the '77 had.
But because it's a completely different system (no smog pump, EGR, etc.) you won't be able to do that. You'll have to try and get it inspected and passed by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair as an approved engine swap.
Like most things with Govt agencies, that's an unpredictable process. You'll have to have EVERYTHING on the engine and smog system that the 3.2 had on it. That includes the fuel evap system as configured for whatever year your 3.2 is.
You could breeze through or be given hell, impossible to predict.
In your favor, the 3.2 smog system isn't overly complicated, so getting through the equipment/visual part is on the easier side, and the 3.2 is pretty clean running, so the tailpipe test isn't usually a problem.
