temporary wideband install

I haven't been able to find enough information that I'm looking for. I'm just learning to tune and I want to keep doing it more. I have been learning through books and on my own car. I have someone who wants me to do some tuning on their car. My car has a lc-1 permanently installed. His does not have a wideband. I want to get the new LM-2 to work on other peoples cars. I am trying to find out how a temporary install would work. I know on a non-cat car you can attach the sensor to the tailpipe. What about on a car that still has catalytic converters? How can I temporarly install my wb on someone elses car to tune it?

bump????

you should be able to take the rear o2 sensor out but it might be to far down the exhaust

will that change the fueling though? If the engine is monitoring o2 sensors to adjust fueling, would disabling the rear's change this?

no it uses the front o2 sensor to monitor the air fuel ratio not the rear one
