Default tuning with wideband, but remove stock oxygen sensor(its bad)

Well, I will start by saying the i have had a problem with my car bogging at around 2 thousand rpm, but after 2 thousand pulls like normal. My car throws a code 43 after it has warmed up, but then goes away if i turn the car and off and won't come on for the rest of the day. This only happens every now and then also. So...... I have ran fuel injector cleaner, got new spark plugs, spark plug wires, new distributor cap, new distributor rotor, new fuel filter. etc. except a o2 sensor. So im lead to believe it is the oxygen sensor. So my question is can i completely disconnect the oxygen sensor. put a wideband in place and tune from their withought the stock oxygen sensor in place or any signal from the wideband being inputed to the white oxygen sensor wire to the ecu. Will this cause it to keep changing the fuel settings or will it mainain its tuned fuel settings that I have set? Thanks Guys...

It matters what your tuning with.I run my Hondata in open loop with out an o2 sensor like a lot of people do.You can run open loop with a lot of systems.

Okay Thanks. Well, I have an Safc-2 as of right now. I am just waiting for my ecu to get back from being chipped. I will be tuning with Crome afterwards. It's just that I need the car in good running condition for now being that it is my only car I drive to and from work. So I was wondering if I can use the Safc for now, until I get my ecu back? I don't feel like throwing in like 100 bucks for an oxygen sensor thats just going to be disabled. Do you know what I mean?
