O2 sensors question

2005 Lincoln LS with bad upstream O2 sensors. Removed the old only to find out that the local Auto Zone is out, but will have them in tomorrow between 12 and 3. Can I drive without putting the old ones back in or no?

Drive without a sensor? Of course not. you will have a large hole in the exhaust manifold/pipe.

Yeah, I was hoping to not have to go back underneath to pop them back in  ...just me being lazy. Guess I'll be putting it back in till tomorrow night and repair after work...never seems to end, does it?

Are you sure it even needs a sensor? What was the code number?

As close to sure as I can be without having a DSO. Car's had intermittent problems with low mileage (averaging 12-14 mpg when it used to be 17-19) and ended up dying out successively trying to shift into gear. Shot code P0153 and then cleared it to see if it came back, which it did. Should be bank 2 sensor 1, but if I'm swapping 1, I'm swapping both.

Yes, that's a slow response code. It's likely a bad sensor.
