Default what to do w/ hanging rear o2 sensors

so i put my LT's on today w/ new cats and the ory. there was only the holes for the front o2 sensors right in front of the cats. as far as the rear o2 sensors, i have no clue what to do w/ them. my buddy was in a hurry so i didnt have him weld some spots for them so they are just dangling there. when i get my tune done i'll just have them deleted but intill than what can i do w/ these things. my check engine light has already came on and i dont know how long i can go before anything bad happens. and i'm pretty sure its not a good thing to just let them hang there.

Follow the sensor wiring, there's a plug not too far upstream. Less than a foot.

Just look at it this way. Now that your not using the rears (only purpose is to monitor cat efficiency) you have 2 extras if the fronts go out!

I posed this same Q some time ago. Sounds like Dustin may have answer.

Dustin,
Is that all the rears are for?
Extras from rear only work if the rear are good. My right rear fails/ goes bad quickly.

If I'm not mistaken the front and rear o2s are different.
