It appears our cars are pretty much twins, so yes, only a sensor test for you as well. Yes, make sure you dont' have any codes and drive around AFTER you've checked that for at least an hour or so. (Apparently AirCare will know if you just cleared your codes yourself down the street and will ask you to come back later when there's enough data for them to scan.)

The previous setup that was in the car ran at 1400*F usually, and depending on conditions I guess, would also go up to 1500 - 1600*F. If your cats are shot, this could cause this, at least from my experience, and despite being welded in, you may need to have em replaced or fixed. But for AirCare, if you got no codes, you can still pass.

You may want to consider doing something about the cats cause my car's now running better then ever now that it's a bit cooler.
