Ive looked around and only seen a few things on removing air bags. Wondering if theres a fues for both air bags to disable them for the track or do i have to follow the wires and disconnect them that way? I saw under the glove box theres some yellow wires but figured id wait till i had a better answer before i started pulling them off

I would never do that if its a street car and you have passangers with you. Willing to wager lawsuit would follow if you tampered with the safety feature of the car and it lead to an injury. I look at that stuff like door bars and bumper supports. If its some street use, you should keep them in there.

Anyways.
As long as they enabled again that is just smart thinking. Personally never seen that when I have gone, never heard story on f bodies but with imports I am sure is a different story.
Some people get crazy with weight reduction and I am all bout lowering that but just throwing it out there for those who like to take door bars out and have no cage what so ever but drive most of the time on the street....

Yes just as B18 said I've seen a guy blow the airbags at the line from a hard launch and was nervous. But this isn't common? I won't disable them unless it needs to be done. And I've heard it has happened many times. I honestly would rather not but I just watched a few YouTube videos with f bodies blowing the bags at the line

Both sides have good points. I have the drivers disabled, and the pass side removed. I was worried that if it ever did go off it would jack me up. I started to worry about this when I installed my 5pt harness and racing seats.
It is a shame that we have to look at every thing like a lawyer.

I removed the fuse then disconnected the yellow connector under the dash. You will get a warning light. You can install a resistor across the supply connector to turn off the light. Not sure on the size. I did it for the pass side years ago. You can buy a 10K pot and turn it slow till the light goes out.
