Passenger Airbag removal help on non-glove box car

My 1997 doesn't have a glove box which seems to change things when it comes to removing the passenger airbag. Does anyone have a procedure?

Simple.

Remove the 2 plastic screws and panel underneath the passenger side dash.
Remove the AC/heat duct from under the passenger airbag and you'll see 2 bolts retaining the airbag frame.
Remove them and it slides right out.
Literally takes 2 minutes

I don't have any pictures of the duct, but you will see it once you remove the 2 plastic screws and panel. Just pull down on the middle corrugated section while freeing one end.

Here is the airbag out.

Great thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.
