You will probably get all sorts of check engine lights with
the O2 sensors gone. But it should run and drive just fine,
just be sure that no wires or other critical parts will get
toasted by the exhaust coming out of the headers. There
could be flame at the opening!
Power? should be plenty, but how far will you get before
getting stopped? To just pull in and out of the garage,
should be no problem.
