I have the article here, actually. The car did have it's
original catalytic converter.
The builder dispensed with the O2 sensor because (in his
words) catalytic equipped MGB's were supposed to be tuned
for 3% CO in the exhaust. Installing an oxygen sensor would
cause the computer to run at near 0%, where without it he
was free to fine tune to original MGB specs. (all his words, not
mine)

I have the article actually, it looks fairly decent. I'm not
commenting really on whether this was the most intelligent
design ever, but the engine bay looked nice after the
installation.
