I don't know if the components work together. I can tell you that your airbag light will be on and you wont be able to legitimately pass inspection. Removing safety devices (at least in Texas) is an automatic fail.

Not that I advise anyone to eliminate an airbag, but on most models (and most makes), bridging the bag circuit with a resistor someplace between 2.2~4.7 ohms will fool the check signal for the squib.
