Default Airbags and aftermarket steering wheels

Hi all! I'm looking into buying an aftermarket steering wheel for my 96' 850, and whilst I know that the wheel airbag will be deleted I've heard that this will knock off the rest off the airbags in the car (passenger, sips) - I assume that if this is the case, someone who knows a thing or two about wiring will be able to keep the rest of the airbags working without the steering wheel airbag in the circuit, but this is only an assumption...

1. Will the rest of the airbags stop working if I replace the steering wheel to one without an airbag? (Momo, Nardi, basically a boss kit kind of wheel)

2. If the remaining airbags stop working, is there actually a way to wire them so that they will work?

3. If i get the remaining airbags to work, will only having the sips bag on the driver side be a possible hazard? I imagine that an airbag deploying on your right hand side in a collision without a front airbag to aid distribution could be dangerous, but maybe I'm overthinking it?

Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,
Max.
