O2 and headers?

I know from everything that I have read on here and searched it said that you need to keep the wires from the O2's on the same side that the sensor is on. However I noticed that when I was taking them off the drivers side wire was routed up to the passenger side where it was plugged in at.
Am I missing something or just retarded because I dont see how it can be plugged up in the same way if I keep the right side sensor wire on the right side and vise versa.

IIRC the fronts plug into there side... left front o2 plugs in to left front side (connector on the car).... the rears cross... so the left rear o2 plugs in on the right side connector on the car....

that is what i remember... someone else should chime in also

Yes, front same side (mine are flat on the 2002) and rears cross (square plug on the 2002).

Ok that makes sense, I guess I was just thinking that I was trying to plug the rear O2's in but since I moved them up they need to stay on the same side.

Yes, and you will need an adapter to conform to the different plugs (square on rear O2 to flat connection on frame).

Anyone have the AC Delco part number for the rears that need to be moved to the front?

Yep they are hooked up and ready to go now, I guess I was just a little too tired last night thinking about how the rears crossed and why they wouldnt now but I dont have rear O2's anymore so that doesnt matter.
Now I just have to figure out how to hook up this LC1 wideband to hp tuners and whatnot.
