Default Will my car drive with only two 02 sensors?

Got LG Streets in the mail today. Instructions call for putting the rear 02s in the fronts...

The headers did not come with 02 sims. Can I put the bolts in the rear 02 holes and drive it for a day or two until the dealership gets two more rear 02s in stock?

I read the FAQ, and as I understand it I can try leaving all 4 02s enabled to pass the sniffer in california....

With the rear O2 sensors unattached, you will set the cat codes for both banks but it will run. Not sure if the PCM will drop into reduced power mode or not.

You'll want simulators if you want an OBD-II test to show emission system readiness tests complete. May not be legal in that configuration, check your state's laws for details.

The car will run. Just have the 2 rear ones turned off or i use the Bosch #13111 o2's. They are the longer ones for a Vette and they work great.
