Topic: SN95 Mustang Airbag Removal

First time Lemons team prepping our car for the build, and one of the first things we were planning on doing is removing all the airbags. Does anyone have any experience with these cars or similar model airbag removal? I found simple enough instructions for the passenger side and steering wheel airbags, but I know there are some curtain airbags as well. How do we deactivate all of these? The general process seemed to be: disconnect the battery, wait 15-20 minutes for the backup battery to drain, take off the paneling, disconnect the wires, remove the bags. Am I missing anything there? Thank you.

Fire them all off then remove?

Not missing anything, if you feel better, disconnect the battery a day before. Generally speaking, there are safety's built in if you remove the connectors from the air bags (self grounding), do not clip the wires.
