These posts should be the first things you should try before taking your car back for a smog check. Chances are these parts are backed up and dirty as hell.
Then proceed with the cheaper things on the list and work your way to the more expensive parts if you're still not passing. If you wanted to pass smog with flying colors, you're going to have to do a lot more.
But if that's something you don't want to do, since smog is such a headache when the car runs fine and is relatively stock, get the car to where it barely passes and then proceed to replace/fix.
