Default Will the (LS1) run and drive with the dash out?

I removed my dash and all the interior to install my cage, but now I need to move my car. Will it start and run with the dash out?

I remember reading something about the airbag sensor under the console. I have it unplugged as well. Will that affect it running?

I am just planning on backing it out and pulling it up on my trailer to haul it to my new house.

I think you should be fine. people take there stock gauge cluster and airbags out all the time and leave them out.

I just wanted to make sure that I would not run into any unexpected problems with the air bags or anything. I thought I had read that someone was having a problem with their car not running and someone suggested the air bad module or something like that.

Thanks,
Kevin

Air bags have nothing to do with the car running. Make sure and put the grounds back on the RH and LH and side and it will run just fine, as long as the main wiring harness is plugged in

I MIGHT have read somewhere (cant really remember) that when something on the airbag system is disconnected and you place the key on the ignition position, let alone starting, will throw a AIRBAG code that wont delete even after you connect everything back again.. you will need hpt or some thing to delete codes..

I never heard of that, I had all the airbag stuff out of my old 2000 SS for a while and put it back in and it all worked fine - didnt drive into a wall to find out but the light wasnt on
