O2 sensor is absolutely required. There is an IAC that controls idle speed. Car will not run correctly without Throttle Position Sensor, Coolant Sensor.

If you remove the EGR system (EGR valve, EGR Solenoid, and EGR Temp Switch) you will get codes. I have seen many people remove the AIR Injection system, but I have left mine intact.

Well, the air injection will stoke the cat conv so without that, it will plug. I was hoping there is someone out there thar csn flash the codes away.

Get rid of the converter also and as far as the EGR valve I don't have any codes without it but after you get done with what you want then get a piggy back chip to eliminate the EGR and everything you want to change on your car.

Default O2

How many o2 sensors are there and if they are manditory to run, then removing the aie injection will throw the o2 off, right?

You have to have the 02 sensor if you run the computer, The air injection has nothing to do with the 02 sensor, its to shoot warm air to the converter to warm it up faster, don't need it either.
