NOx and SOx have been regulated on Diesel engines for a while now. It isn't only applicable to vehicles with SCR, that was just needed to meet the final emissions tier requirements. I'm not sure what the timeline was exactly but anything we're talking about deleting anything off of will be subject to the limits that were in effect when the vehicle was built. If it has electronic injectors it was certainly regulated. The regulations were implemented in 4 "tiers" of NOx, SOx, and particulate matter emission levels.
ETA: the test will be changed to sniff for everything in light of the recent Volkswagen scandal. Retrofitting a truck back into emission compliance will cost much more than deleting it did. I don't recommend it.

Well his EGR and other parts are already crap and will cost a bunch of money to repair...a blocker plate and finger stick isn't going to be a loss "if" he ever has to go back to compliance...If he does, he was going to need those parts anyway.
