can't really answer that completely. I'm doing my son's 95 Pontiac Sunfire and using a 97 donor car. First: make the body repairs to factory specs. the car needs to be fairly staight for new sensors to work properly. 2- disconect battery,drivers airbag is removed by 2 torx bolt on back of steering wheel( note: at base of steering column under dash is a yellow plug and yellow taped harness that will need to be disconected). 3- remove the front crash sensor under hood beside the latch(yellow harness disconnects below the battery). Next is to replace these items with identical

parts( make sure donor car was not front crashed). Have the computer cleared of crash data by a body shop. And only then should you plug the yellow connectors together. Do not hook these up without confirming the deployment codes are inactive. If the passenger bag went off , the dash will likely need replaced if not the winshield also. The bag is held in by 4 bolts(2 top-2 bottom) and the module is mounted to firewall just ahead of the bag. you'll need a lot of patience for this repair.there are some great websites that give complete info but not free
