Thats where it would be handy to have an extra odometer and just change it out at inspection time. One for inspection use and one for daily use . Of course you would have to know how to change them out each year. Or disconect your speedometer and drive with a tack . 
Not that I would do something like that, 
Thats something we don't have to put up with on 1980 or older vehicals and only in two countys. 
That method would work, I wish Pa would ease up and make emissions testing not go back so many years.

Take it to a shop with a exhaust gas analyzer. They'll stick the sniffer up your tail pipe (yeah, I said it) and tune it to pass.
Does it pass the idle portion of the test? If it does then your idle metering is fine. Focus on the secondaries and secondary metering.
What carburetor do you have?
