The port on the connector pipe is for checking emissions level before
the cat with a co meter (sun and sum).  I don't know of a o2 sensor
that will fit this port.  Its should have a 3/8" cap on it I think.
Use Bulley's method to remove the  old O2 sensor.  Tap on the base
for a few minutes, hard with a 7/8" socket or box wrench.  That
should loosen it up.  It always has for me.

I have a test O2 sensor permanently installed on my 77 bay window.
It helps me  set up the fuel mixture  adjustments on the AFM.   If
you follow the procedures in Bentley or the Pro Manual.  An
additional unit should not be necessary.  I believe you can connect a
parallel meter connection on the present  O2 sensor without degrading
the signal.  Isn't that what the Digitool does?
