Yeah, I don't know how linking a MG to a SS would work if you wanted to fire the SS on automatic. I assumed this wasn't possible but I can't point to any rule that says you can't.

There was a formal ruling in one of the issues of Pyramid that trikes do require a Smart Link to fire from different sides (L&R) together. A couple of other places besides turrets and rocket platforms that this would apply IMO would be sponsons and corner mounts. (And also keep in mind that laser guided rockets are a special case.)
Smoke linked to aimed weapons fire... I can't recall an official ruling, however as they are simultaneous and I'd assume that you were aiming the weapon before you hit the fire button which triggers both weapons. As a result, the smoke penalty wouldn't apply. That's how I would rule it.
