Disregard the sniffer test as it no longer applies in CA, but theoretically you would need a tune that both turns down the o2 sensors while still keeping them in a ready state to pass the OBD2 test. I know Evolve and some others are supposed to be able to do this, but I'm hoping to get some conclusive feedback from you guys.

The tune that can do this gets my money
I just passed smog last week WITH relocated sensors. The reason I mention it, is because they still did the sniffer (and I barely passed it).

So not sure if shops just aren't aware or what but I'd confirm that you'll be able to smog somewhere without doing the sniffer.
