check for conectors going into the doors, i think they are yellow two pin connectors, and disconect those plugs. Those are the airbag harnesses. The Air bags are not attached to the door panels but to the doors themselves. As far as the seats go I have never tried to remove the seats but I would check to see if there are airbags in them first.
