Default Doable, but get a manual and be safe.

When ever you remove airbags, make sure the battery ground cable is disco'd and always work off to the side of the airbag so that if it deploys, you don't get hit by it. Pretty easy to get really hurt or more likely killed if one hits you straight on and you're stationary.

Once the airbag is removed, set it face up so it doesn't become a cruise missle if it were to deploy (sitting face down).

Do not start the car with the airbag disconnected.

Default watchspring wire is the problem. If you can work your way around it is ok.

Also it makes sense to disconnect the battery.
