On GM, bank one is drivers side of engine, bank 2 is passengers side. Sensor(s) 1 is the upstream sensor, meaning BEFORE catalytic converter. Sensor(s) 2 are located downstream, or AFTER the catalytic converter, therefore, bank 2, sensor 2 is located in the exhaust pipe leading from the passenger side of engine and after the catalytic converter.

Can not having a catalytic converter damage your engines life?
First off it is illegal to remove the converter. Secondly, your engine will not run properly with the converter removed.---That's not entirely correct. It depends on whether your car is pre-1975, or ALDL, OBDI or OBDII equipped.Prior to about 1975, there were no converters on cars, generally speaking.ALDL and OBDI cars have oxygen (O2) sensors before the converters, and only measure emissions coming out of the exhaust manifolds.OBDII came on line in 1996 (Generally speaking. Some 1994 and later GM models have a modified OBDII.), so if your car was manufactured BEFORE 1996, your car CAN operate properly without catalytic converters. But it shouldn't.OBDII cars cannot (without digging into the electrical system of the engine) operate properly without catalytic converters. OBDII cars have O2 sensors both before and after the converters, and the computer compares the numbers. This is why you have to have the converters on OBDII cars.But, as has been stated, if your car came with a converter, you have to keep a converter on the car.You can buy aftermarket performance converters that will allow you to pass emissions, keep your car legal and are less restrictive than a stock converter, but the performance gains are negligible (1 or 2 hp on average) and the costs are prohibitive.If your converters are functioning properly, keep them where they are. If the converters are clogged or have melted, you'll need to find out WHY and then replace them.
