Basically you will be required to smog the car based on what
year/make/model the engine came out of.
I hope you swapped in the entire ignition system. (CIS-E)

For the most part, as long as you have a CAT in the car you should be OK.
There are also some charcoal canisters and other smog crap you might be
required to have on the car (Dunno if you have them or not.) for the
inspection phase of the Californizing. It can be expensive if you bring
the wrong car but for the most part, VW's are smog friendly and easily
adaptive to conform our strict (anal) air laws.
You have some time to get it compliant before you need to register it. Id
research what needs to be done and wait til the last minute to do it. (IE
wait til your current tag expires.) 
GL and welcome to the west coast! See ya at the ND show!
