It passed emissions with flying colors! HC was cut in half and CO went from 50+ to 6 or so, and the limit is 12. Now I’m in line at DMV with 50 people ahead of me in the line, as expected.
I bought an odb2 reader and cleared the bad sensor code - just so my day isn’t completely perfect, a new code popped up - driver side oxygen sensor is bad as well :). This time, I’ll try removing the tire and removing it from the side with a long breaker bar. I hope it isn’t seized - but if it is, I have the manifold ready, new oxygen sensor on the way ($45 on amazon vs 80 at autozone) and now I know what I’m getting myself into.
Huge thank you to everyone that pitched in with ideas on what to do to pass the emissions. We replaced: passenger side exhaust manifold, oxygen sensor, gaskets, air filter, spark plugs, and I cleaned the mass airflow sensor with carburetor cleaner. It was probably a little bit of everything that helped. Original, 18 year old spark plugs looked like < instead of [ on one side, so they were probably not helping much.
I feel so accomplished doing this, sacrificing knuckle skin to engine gods, but making it work in the end.

Carb cleaner is bad for the MAF. They make specific MAF cleaner.

Too late now. In any case, it’s passed emissions.
