To be on the safe side, it's best to disconnect the battery when doing any work on or around the airbag. Also, pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners were added, either in '01 or '02 (I forget which). If you have em, you don't want these to accidentally discharge either - aside from scaring the P*ss out of you, it would require replacing the whole unit.

The minor added inconvenience and resetting the Radio Code is well worth the safety margin gained.
