The converted amount minus the proportion of non-deductible contributions is added to your federal and CA AGI. If all of your IRA's only have non-deductible contributions, then there is no effect on your federal or CA AGI.
One twist is, in the past 30-some years, California has not always conformed to federal deduction limits for IRA's, so CA basis in IRA may be different from federal, requiring some adjustments on Schedule CA(540).

That assumes that the IRAs have had no earnings!
