If you disable the o2 sensor heater your o2 sensor will not be able to obtain an accurate reading as soon as it should with the heater on it. o2 sensors usually have to be up to about 400-600 degrees F in order to obtain a fully accurate reading. I wouldn't advise you remove the heater wires or disable it in any way because you're not going to go into "closed loop" as fast which will decrease fuel economy.

you take the two heater ground wires and put a 10w10ohm resistor between them and connect them together.

that is the plug off the o2 sensor itself. put the resistor between the two and it will trick your ecu into thinking its still working so it doesnt throw a cel.
