OT Mechanics - Are my CATS clogged?

Appreciate any help here guys/gals/unisex/trans/homo or whatever else is appropriate these days.
I've got a 92 Lexus LS400 that I drive long distance daily. After idling it for about a 30 minute lunch break it has lost all power, blows "unusual smelling" smoke and backfires if I rev it up. No check engine light or odd readings on the dash.
I you guys think it is likely the cat converters I can take them loose from the manifolds. Being that I have a herniated disk and know I'm likely to break off some bolts... I don't want to give this a go without consulting with the OT first.

It's a 1992. It's 25 years old so who the hell knows what's wrong with it.

what color is unusual smelling smoke. If it has a sweet smell, typically means you are burning coolant and that is no bueno
