Unplug the oxygen sensor when setting CO%?

Sorry for the stupid question. I've been reading for an hour and haven't found enough answers to be comfortable.

If I'm checking my CO% on my CIS car, do I unhook the o2 sensor first?

Like this?

1. Unhook o2 sensor.
2. Set mixture to about 3 - 3.5% CO.
3. Reconnect o2 sensor and watch it lean out to .5 or something.

No, I don't have a cat.

I do understand the arguments for leaving the o2 sensor disconnected, but I think I'd like to have it in the loop.

Thanks

edit: I just looked in my Haynes and it says to unhook o2 Sensor and get a reading of

.4 to .8 (USA)
1.0 to 2.0 (UK)

arrrrgh someone enlighten me.

Thanks
