I would get an a/f ratio guage.

Do not forget the fittings needed to run the oil lines, or the fittings for the drain line (unless your welding a stub in the pan)

It will still let you know if you are rich or lean. You do not need a wideband to tell you that. The wideband is only good for precise tuning.
