Default O2 Sensor Install - What do I do with them?

Im kind of confused on what to do with these O2 sensors for my LT header install. My guide just says go ahead and connect them..!?? Ive got two O2 simulators.. and there are four right.

So what do I with the two front ones and two back ones?

the front sensors are a must. you can either use o2 sims for the rear or have them tuned out.

Alright so I just unclip the rear ones and put on the sims? Then I guess tuck them up somewhere.

And for the front ones do I just screw them back into the hole at the bottom of the headers (After extending them)?

If you can't find sims, I would opt for having them just turned off with HPTuners or EFI Live.

this ^^^^ would be a better idea anyways....considering sims have a tendancy to go bad, thus you have to buy more, when you could just turn them and never worry about them again
