I was thinking of putting the lm1 sensor in the driverside header(stock location) eliminating the narrow band sensor and running my accel dfi in open loop. Is this a good spot for the wb sensor?

That is a bad location for a WB sensor. Too hot there.
Need to place the sensor shortly before the cat, down under the car. This is to get it far enough away from the engine heat.

I destroyed two Bosch sensors by placing in ext pipe(duals) right at collector flange. As stated too hot. I moved back 16 inches and now have 3 seasons with no issues.
