Tomorrow I'll put the stock manifolds (with the catalytic converters) back on and take the car for a drive to see what happens...
The thing is, even if all of the O2 sensors in you system were not working or hooked up, the engine would go to a default factory setting, which is a bit richer than optimal, but not enough to cause smoke.
