Flowtech Shorty smog headers!

Ok I am up and running with my 302 to 351 engine swap in my 95 bronco.
I bought a 94 f-250 with a super strong 351 motor and everythig was going well till I put my new flowtech shorty smog headers on and found that I have no where to hook up the two tubes that used to connect from the back of my exhaust manifolds to the "A.I.R.B." and smog pump. This leaves me in a huge hole because the state I live in will not allow smog modifications. My idea was to find a steel nut like a o2 sensor bung and weld it onto the headers where i need to connect the two tubes but no luck in finding a nut that same size with the same threading. Any helpful hints

if you have 5.8 headers with only 1 egr port on the front i would just cap off those other lines running out the back. also take off those tubes that run between the heads and cap those.

Cant do that due to smog regs
We already sloved the problem by flash welding the two hook ups to the headers
