Default o2 connectors?

Couldnt find this in any other thread but was wondering how bad would it be if i drive with one missing front o2 sensor? Reason i ask is my o2 connector that connects to the front drivers side o2 fell from its spot and melted on top of the headers. I know it goes up to the underside of the engine but not sure where it connects. Called chevy dealership but they said they dont sell those anymore and i would have to look online or junkyard. They did give me a part number of 12191286. But the weird thing is that my check engine light never came on and i just had the car tuned like 5 or 6 weeks ago. Anybody know any place online that sells them?

you will notice nothing at all. O2 sensors wont make your car runs funny "at least not to my car" i drove my car with no O2 sensors for several days and nothing happend other than the crazy MPG. your mpg will go like crazy id say just get a new one and get it fixed.
