Default O2 sensor location

I have done a little searching but cant seem to find.
My project is ready for the exhaust shop.
Running stock manifolds, going to be duals to single 2 in, 2 out muffler.
LS1.
How far away from engine do I need to locate the front o2's? Not running cats, or rear o2's.
Is there a sweet spot? Is it critical or not so much? Big or small exceptable range?
Thanks
Darrell

As close to the manifolds as possible. The hotter the exhaust gasses the better.

Look at the location of bungs on the stock cat piping.

I appreciate the replys. Looks to be a little difference in opinion. I don't have anything stock to look at. This is in a 72 Vega. I had a couple scraps of exhaust that was still on some old truck manifolds. Looks like they were about 6 to 8inches from manifold flange.
What I was hoping for, is that maybe a tuner has found that there is a sweet spot that seems to give better feedback. I can put it anywhere I want at this point. Just wanted to pick best spot. Just stock set up, so prob don't really matter that much. I shoot for easy to access, with in 8" of flange.
