failed emissions--no money-- help!

I have a 94 saab 900s, 2.3 litre non-turbo, manuel, 150k-- it has always been a good car, but lately it's like a high end call-girl who got hooked on drugs and went downhill fast . . .
CEL came on a few weeks ago, cleared it by disconnecting the battery, but it came back about a week later. Now I've failed emissions inspection:
at 15 mph
HC ppm limit 101, my reading 106 FAIL
CO% limit .57, mine .1 PASS
NO ppm limit 781, mine 1063 FAIL
at 25 mph
HC ppm limit 98, my reading 27 PASS
CO% limit .55, mine .05 PASS
NO ppm limit 707, mine 1139 FAIL
shop recommended spark plug and wires, pcv system & egr system serviced, and catalytic converter.
I hate to do all this, esp the catalytic converter, since the car's only worth about $1400. Where do we start?
ps-- noticed that the lower check valve was not connected to the air switch valve the night before the test. We temporarily hooked it up, but could this be part of our woe?
thanks in advance for helping a girl out.
