oxygen sensors

Can someone tell me where the passenger side oxygen sensor is on a 3.8, and is it identical to the one on the driver' side? Thanks

All my diagrams show 88 3.8s with only one sensor.

My '84 3.8 has two. The passenger side is in the same location as the driver's side but harder to see and get to.

My 85 5.0 only had one.

As afar as i know they are both right on the back of the manifolds and a little way down the pipe.  May be 3-4 inches.  Almost like mirror images on both sides.
