Default Headers going on - O2 sensors??

I'm putting on my LPP headers/ORY soon, I have all the other stuff (plugs, wires, gaskets etc.) but new O2 sensors somehow didn't cross my mind until yesterday... and I even have O2 extensions.

The car is a '95, so it's obd1 with two O2 sensors right? The 2 bungs on the y-pipe got me thinking since there are already 2 bungs on the header collectors.

What exactly does one do about the ORY O2 bungs? Couldn't you use, lets say the old O2 sensors with the wires cut off? Or a plug of some kind?

My ebay longtubes came with plugs for all four o2 bungs. I used one of the extra bungs for a wideband o2 and pluged the last one. any exhaust shop should have plugs if you need them

I went to NAPA to get the plugs and the bent me over. IIRC it was $8 for one plug. It's just a bolt that is really short, but I couldn't find one that had the same thread pattern at the hardware store so I just bought them from NAPA.

You should be able to find the plugs without a problem. They are M18 thread, and plugs are available at most speed shops. Summit carries them for dirt cheap.
