Besides the relay under the seat, there's also a throttle position sensor and frequency valve that are part of the system. Your fuel head has been designed specifically with Lambda in mind, working in concert with the frequency valve to adjust mixture based on input from the O2 sensor and the TPS. When unplugging the O2 sensor, the frequency valve will stay at a steady state...open loop. If the freq valve is removed or unplugged the engine will run extremely lean. You would have to adjust each individual injector at the fuel distributor in order to compensate. Some people here have done that and may chime in here.
Personally, I've always ran without the O2 sensor plugged in.

Thanks for the info. It’s the most helpful info I have received so far.
None of it sounds like all that much fun for someone that doesn’t really understand the CIS as well as I would like to. I’m having a tough time deciding what the best path is.
