I believe that you want them plugged. Your PC-V kit should come with the dummy plugs, right? When implimenting the PC-V you are basically opting not to use the o2 sensors anymore and relying on the canned map of the PC-V, and not the o2 sensors anymore.
If you plug your o2 sensors back in then you're not iimplimenting your PC-V the way it was supposed to be and I do not know what you would be gaining by plugging them back in, not much of anything would be my guess. In fact I would think that you may be doing more harm than good by plugging them back in. Call Jamie at F/M. I'm pretty sure he'll be telling you the same thing.

same setup
I have the same setup...Rush slip-ons, PCV and new a/c. I left mine in as we have some b*t*h in government right now trying to get a law passed to smog bikes.
Left the O2 sensors in so if by some slim chance the law does pass I can easily convert back to stock with little effort.

Got a buddy that's a Harley mechanic, he said that the stock O2 sensors do more harm than good if you leave them plugged in. He said to plug them off and use the canned map for the PC5. He told me that most bikes run like crap if you leave em in. he also said it's no big deal to use the old O2 sensors as dummy plugs if your exhaust system didn't come with plugs.
