Default DASH REPLACEMENT

I would like to replace my dash, since it is all cracked and warped. I bought another dash but am worried about the airbags. Am i going to run into any problems? can i disconnect the battery and then disconnect the airbags without having a problem with the computer? any suggestions.
Thanks Rob

You should have no problems if you disconnect the battery about an hour before you start mucking around the airbags.

If the battery is disconnected you will be fine.
