This is just me, but if I had a car that had Connectors for Rear-O2's, I would re-pin the PCM Connectors to make them Rear-O2 Connectors the Front O2's. That would save the trouble of getting O2 Extensions and finding a place to run them.

02 sims for the rears... Vette 02 sensors for the front.. Works perfect... Although you will have to use zip ties, as there will be some left.
