Wait wait wait.... A California mechanic told you you don't need all your emmisions crap I would stop going to him.
Keep your oxygen sensor, you don't need it but I believe it works with your ECU telling how much fuel to give under cruising conditions. It doesn't really have anything to do with emissions.

Accept that it does have to do with emissions. A rich engine and an overly lean engine will produce greater quantities of certain types of particulates or gases. So having a stoich or near stoich A/F ratio will prevent that from happening. The O2 sensor is the computers only way of knowing if it is running rich or lean. While cruising it uses the O2 sensor to decide how to adjust the fuel trim.

The car will not run right!..it will run yes but not like it should,the ECU can tell if the o2 is bad or missing and will go into defualt mode which is rich as hell..resulting in shitty gas millege...your better off just hooking it up uless you have an SAFC or full standalone.
