Just a few words from experience.  Running without the OXY sensor
does nothing,  Way back when, it was thought that by doing this
it would cure the 16v's problem of running lean at high RMP,
but the truth is that all it does is make you car run rich 
all the time (and it still runs lean at high RMP).  Unless
you don't have a cat, or just don't care too much, you
should hook it up.  The OXY sensor on my 87 16v was disconnected
by the first owner, and after I reconnected it the car actually
ran better and pulled a bit stronger.
