This is all such horse shiet. Below is a casual extraction from the Ohio E-check regulations which is old as eff.

They have no staff to enforce. It's the honor system.

For example, if an empty air pump bracket needs to be removed in order to work on a
water pump, the missing air pump must be replaced.
If incorrect headers or exhaust manifolds need to be removed in order to perform work on the transmission, the proper exhaust manifolds or headers need to be replaced in order to avoid performing illegal emissions work (this includes vehicles containing test pipes rather than catalytic converters). Simply replacing the tampered part as it was when the vehicle entered the shop would be a violation of the tampering prohibition.
