Default no 02 hooked up...is that ok?

I just finished installing my turbo setup....and I need to drive the car tomorrow to get the downpipe made for it. I had to remove the cat when I took off the header because those bolts were on there tiiiight. So right now I've got both 02 sensors just dangling. Is it ok to drive the car with them like this? Or will I have problems? Is there anything that I can do to maybe trick it into thinking that the 02's are working right? I know you can do the foil thing with the second 02....but is there a way to trick the first 02?

Any help would be great...thanks.

I drove around with my first o2 sensor disconnected, 3 bar map sensor, RC 550cc injectors (with resistor box), and stock ecu for my '99 si. Yes stock ecu! That was when I gave up on my AEM and had to wait for my DFI Gen 7 to come in. I drove like that for a little over 2000 miles. Not a bad way to break in the motor, i tell you that much !
So yeah you wouln't have any problems!

Don't let them dangle. Believe me, I have to go buy a new O2 sensor because mine was left dangling while I was driving. Only half of the damn thing is still there!
