new cat today

i got my new catco cat today but im not sure about it. it has an o2 sensor fitting on it right after the dual inlets and it has an air tube. my current system is the stock 2 into 1 cat then the single cat. in between the 2 cats is the AIR tube and the o2 sensor. if i cut those 2 things out, and put the o2 sensor in the location on the cat, isnt that going to cause me to throw codes? also im not sure how to get the air tube to fit as it is a good 10" away from where the new air tube will fit.

Go get a junk yard O2 sensor to plug the hole in the cat and leave every thing as is, just remove the second cat and put the new one in place of the first one.

What have you got for emmissions? If none, just leave the air tube venting to the atmosphere. What year is the truck? If you can do it just put the new cat ahead of the O2 sensor and get rid of the rear one. I have never seen the setup you have so I'm just guessing but....
