Chrysler Repair: 1995 Cirrus rear exhaust manifold, replacement manifold, stock exhaust

Question
I have a 95 Cirrus that we had a hard time getting the stock exhaust off of, in the time it took us to get it off we messed up the rear manifold.  I have been to every junk yard in the area looking for a new one and none of them match exactly what I need, I need one with a spot to put the second O2 sensor.  For some reason every one I can find does not have it.  I have ran the vin and its not a california car that would have funny emissions, is there a solution to this problem, maybe placing the o2 sensor else where or removing it?  I am out of options since Chrysler no longer makes it and there is no after market for it.  Please let me know what I can do.
Thank You

Answer
Hi April,
By the "second O2 sensor" do you mean the one that is after the catalytic converter (though I don't see one as being used in the '96 2.5L engine so I doubt there is one in your '95)? Or the upstream sensor on the manifold which I would call the first 02 sensor?
I would wonder whether a machine shop might not be able to drill and thread a hole in the replacement manifold (or exhaust pipe as the case might be) that would accomodate the sensor at the same spot as it was originally positioned. The thread is 18 mm X 1.5 + 6E in size.
The other possibility is to ask the junk yard to put out a call on their nationwide "hot line" to try and find one like you need.
