Default P0420 Drivers side Cat/O2 sens.

I popped a SES code P0420 on my 99 WS6. Took the it to Autozone to run the code and showed P0420, Basically a bad driver side cat.

Question that I have is it most likley the cat that is failed or the rear O2 sensor?

If it is the cat can I get away with running a Magnaflow Cat on the drivers side with the stock left on the pass without screwing anything up?

Thanks!
