Many cars have one O2 sensor before the catalytic converter and a second one after. The first measures the level of unburned exhaust gasses before the converter, and the 2nd one measures the gasses again after the converter, basically making sure the converter is doing it's job. If you have a harness plug for the other sensor, then go ahead and hook it up, if you don't, and you're not getting any codes or running issues, then I wouldn't worry about it, just leave it in there to plug the hole.

If you think 2 of them is bad, look at some of the newer cars, there are cars and trucks out there now with as many as SIX! lol

The second one was probably added for tuning purposes, making a spot available for a wideband O2 sensore.

TC's only came with one O2 sensor. If there's another bung welded in, before the cat then as Off Road SHO said, it's for a wideband O2. If someone went to the trouble of adding a second O2 bung, you might very well have other performance goodies in/on your motor!
