Default What will I need for the LT's?

I got my LT headers. What exactly will I need o2 sensor wise? I have the EGR/AIR tubes and the outputs for the o2 sensors and the EGR. How many o2 sensors will I need to order to fit inside the collectors? I have Jet Hot LT's with a 97 Formula.

If you don't have cats you will need 2 O2 simulators, you will need regular O2 extensions with 2 O2 sensors (if you want to replace them which I would wait 2 weeks or so due to coating burning off) header gaskets, header bolts...all I can think of right now.

I already know which gaskets and which header bolts I'll need. So I'll need 2 O2 sensors, 2 O2 sims, and 2 O2 extensions?

I never heard of jacking the engine up to put the passenger side in. A lot of people I know just took out the starter and a few other things and had room on both sides, I don't think jacking the engine up will be necessary.
