Which O2's to use?

Do i use the sensors off the manifolds or off the cat and lower y-pipe which have square plugs? What will i need to do with the plugs that used to connect into the manifolds, can i just leave em?

The sensors after the cats are catalyst efficiency monitors. If they're throwing codes either replace the cats or gut the cats and get o2 sims. The manifold sensors are the ones that actually adjust the air fuel ratio and are important to proper engine operation.

I'd try to zip tie them against something other than the tranny. If the extensions have a lot of slack zip tie them to the body.
