Can I leave that end piece that you see in the picture? Is that the original part?
Then you see the exhaust. So yes there are the 2 down pipes and the lines where joined below the driveshaft cover. The cat was welded in place and the o2 sensor opening was plugged. Very crude cut out for the o2 sensor and electrical line. What was the idea of that cat? What would you do with this cat?

The device on the vent line is a vent valve; it allows air to flow into the tank freely, but delays venting of vapors until pressure in the tank reaches some predetermined level. Although it is not original, it can remain.
The catalytic convertor was installed to comply with US emissions regulations. If the car is now exempt from MA emissions inspection the cat can be removed and replaced with sections of straight pipe (or an "H" pipe).
