My Indy is two blocks away and will remove the belts. They are going to be replaced in a week. Can't part the car at the shop, so I need to drive it back home while waiting for the new belt assemblies.
Be sure they deactivate the framis rod muffler bearings

well you can't drive without seatbelts legally.

Why don't they wait to remove the seatbelts until they have the replacements?
Why are the seatbelts being replaced?

I have to ship my belts with retractors; the vendor is changing the webbing from black to red.
The car will not be driven except to relocate 2 blocks away.

that makes sense
I am fairly sure you will be OK.

In any case, the airbags will not deploy except maybe in an accident.

YMMV

See:. https://seatbeltrestore.com/webbing-replacement/custom-color-seat-belts

There are several vendors that off replacement webbing for about the same price and same turn around time.
