Not exactly 'ALL' - My '68 Norwood Zed was delivered and sold in Canada and was KD1 exempt as per the GM Documentation, thus no smog ever, so I assume any other similar '67's or '68's would have been the same here as well. I seem to recall some of the 396 cars I was looking at when car shopping back in that time zone, as have smog pumps but they were probably only 325 and 350hp models around here...
69's I'm not sure about - but believe they all had smog regardless of the engine size..

FYI...The low mile green 68 L78 at MCACN a few years ago was a Canada delivered smog delete car.

I was led to believe that all '68 solid lifter cars with manual transmissions imported here were smog exempt.. so the L78 would probably qualify and make sense using that logic - fairly small volume (solid lifter 4 speeds, that is) all things and numbers considered though, compared to numbers in the US I guess.
I thought it was George Zappora that mentioned that to me, way back - but..
