Passenger airbag removal how to?
I was going over the weight reduction list trying to decide on what else I need to remove to lighten up the car. I want to keep the a/c and not give my car a gutted/stripped look. So a lot of the interior pieces Im keeping. Anyhow, Id like to take the passenger side airbag out since I hardly drive the car on the street anyway, muchless have a person with me. So I could use the weight reduction. Besides how to do it, when I remove it, is there going to be a big hole there or will the dash portion still be in tact? I think Ive read when you remove the driver's side that you either have to get the Billingsley piece or aftermarket steering wheel, otherwise youll have a hole there. If theres no how to's out there, can someone give me step by step instructions on the easiest/fastest way to do it? Thanks a lot.

Sorry for posting in an old topic, but I did want you guys to know that I at least searched for the info before asking the question. I have read lots of threads discussing passenger airbag removal and all answers point to "remove the dash". What is it about the passenger side airbag that makes it impossible to remove with the dash in place? Are there bolts that you cannot get to with the dash in place or is removing the dash necessary for the actual removal? Also, are there any members with pics of the passenger airbag assembly (good enough to determine bolt locations of the bracket itself)? If nothing else, I'm gonna find a wrecked Camaro at a pick-n-pull and play with it's dash and blown airbag module to find out how to pull it. However, if you guys can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
