The oxygen sensor on a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am is found near the catalytic converter. It will be place on the piping which leads to the catalytic converter.
There are not two catalytic converters. Working towards the muffler from the flange, you have a RESONATOR, a CATALYTIC CONVERTER and finally a MUFFLER.
There is one before the catalytic converter where the 4 runners meet on the exhaust manifold. And the second one is after the catalytic converter.
No, it will not run correctly and besides it is illegal to remove the converter.
Look under the car and count them.
They are required for smog.
