no, shouldnt have any problems
if you drive with the seats out, the airbag light will come on, but airbags will still work.
clip the pretensioners back in, and all will be fine

Yeah should have no problems at all as stated above, just disconnect the battery, leave it for 10 minutes, and then undo the pretensioners

Are the seats easy enough to take out? they simply screw off?
