You leave the rear O2 sensors off, and either run O2 sims, or have them tuned out. The front O2s are required for the engine to run properly

Yes you can run it without the rear O2s, you'll get an SES light, but the performance won't be optimal, it may feel sluggish down low, or you may have no adverse effects.
