I would be ordering a custom 87 performance tune, mainly to rid myself of that constant CEL
If you're positive that your CEL is caused by the O2 sensors, you can always do the mechanical fix...

Go to Autozone, and buy a couple 2 packs of spark plug defouler bungs.

Drill 2 of them out so that the O2 sensor can be screwed into one. Then put 2 defoulers together, and insert back into the exhaust pipe.

This will remove your O2 sensors from the heat, and trick them into thinking everything is operating properly. You can do this after cutting your cats out too.
