question concerning o2 sensors with new headers HELP!

i currently have an A/F Gauge in my SS..i bought the wiring harness that allows you to just plug it into the o2 sensor under the car in the manifold for easy wiring and all that...
well i plan on buying some Pacesetter LT's soon and I was wondering...what happens to that sensor and will it affect my AF Gauge...
just wondering...not sure if the headers come with ports or anything..
THANKS!

it will read different voltages from what i have seen after headers but not by a whole lot, it may look a little richer but you will be ok. i am taking my gauge off my car for an oil temp so i can keep an eye on operating temps, with hp tuners there is no need for the air fuel gauge now, but it does look pretty lol

lose it and get a wideband if you care that much about A/Fs
