As long as you disconnect the battery for a few minutes the airbag isn't an issue if you install an aftermarket airbag wheel. If you are thinking Momo or such, there is a resistor you can use to fake the airbag as well. You can get the hub and the rest of the kit at Carnewal. You also need the 993 horn adaptor to make the horn work. It is included with the hub kits the above sell. To fake out the airbag, clip the airbag connector off of your clockspring, wire in the resistor, plug it into the harness (all right there and obvious) and then reconnect everything. Reconnect the battery LAST.

Regarding cruise control, are you talking taking out the stalk (handle) cruise control? You don't loose the stalk system (blinkers etc) if you go aftermarket. Might be a challenging mod and possibly not possible to reroute CC from the stalk controls to the wheel. Not sure about that.
