You don't. The first (primary) O2 sensor is a wideband sensor that the ECU relies on to maintain the correct air/fuel ratio. The second (secondary) O2 sensor is primarily there to measure catalyst efficiency and as a cross check for primary sensor accuracy. In the situation you describe the primary O2 sensor would install into the new cat-less header and the secondary O2 sensor would install post cat in the front pipe.
Although your catalyst efficiency will be reduced by only having the secondary cat, it should be enough to satisfy the ECU and you should not see a CEL.
