If 97's are OBD-II (car guy speaking, not sure which year Ford trucks switched over) then you will have an o2 sensor before and after your cat. If you remove your cat, your O2 sensor reading will be off and your MPG will be effected. I'd just keep your cats if I were you.

If you only have one sensor then feel free to get rid of it, as long as you're in a state that doesn't have emissions.
