i did a remote start alarm combo in this car and never removed the bag i caught all my wires under the dash and kick panel area .
If you are going to disconect air bag pull the air bag fuse first at the fuse panel.this way you dont have to worry about airbag deploying or the air bag light may come on if you dont remove fuse.

I wouldn't touch the airbag. It would open all kinds of liability if it either went off, or didn't go off in an accident. You can get almost all the wires that you need in the center console of the vehicle with exception of the starter wire.
