You just created more problems by doing that, now the computer can't read the catalysts performance. Black smoke is too rich condition, so you could have a sensor misread like the ECT or ACT sensor, bad sensor grounds, bad fuel regulator or even a bad fuel pump. Live data scanning can show the sensor readings but they might be off due to catalyst missing so ignore anything referring to O2 sensor 2 position for the time being until you get the rich condition fixed.
