You might need to install a downstream O2 sensor simulator to prevent an OBD2 failure to verify function of the (now missing) converter, but those are readily available for off-road use as I’m sure would be your application. ;)

Yeah, the cheater plugs are part of the deal. I'm pretty sure they're just fixed resistors so it's not complicated.

Usually a fixed resistor to simulate the heater and a square wave oscillator to simulate the O2 sensor output cycling between lean and rich.
