I would think that if you unplug the front o2 sensors, the car would just run in open loop mode all the time. I haven't heard of it causing any damage before.

it should run ok. Shouldnt hurt anything except your wallet. You will get about 8 mpg. IF you just unplugging them to drive to a repair shop or something thats fine. get it fixed asap though.
