Default 1980 corvette Oxygen sensor

Did all 1980 corvette's have oxygen sensors? My son bought one in Georgia with headers, no O2 sensor. Has a 4b, smog pump, air tubes in the exhaust but no sensor. Yes we live in CA. Thanks Larryb

I do not think so as '81 was the first year of the computer (CCC).

As far has I know 1980 did not have O2 sensors ,81 had them cause it was a computer controlled carb! Also had a small computer on board! But yes they had smog pump and air tubes in the manifold. Ron

80s did not come with O2s, if you dont have emissions testing, take all that crap off.
