His car is a California-spec NB (presumably a '99-'00 since he's asking this specific question) and on those cars, the exhaust manifold is a short little cast-iron piece (almost exactly like a Bell turbo manifold, but with the outlet pointing down) and there's a catalytic converter bolted directly to it.
Thus, if he wishes to install a wideband O2 sensor on this car, he must install it very close to the exhaust ports on the head, which is contrary to the usual advice. If he does this, the sensor will explode and we'll all be killed.
Honestly, I have no idea whether this will work. You could use an extension and fix a heatsink to the end of it. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't.

If you decide to run a parallel install or keep both o2 sensors (for whatever reason) you can pick up a 99-00 federal emissions manifold for about $35, extend the wires yourself (or buy the racing beat race header kit if you want to keep your wiring neat), and weld in 2 o2 bungs (one for the secondary o2, one for the wideband).
But then again, if it's only for a month and you ditch it anyway, it may not be worth the $45-$120.
