In progress of building a track car, and need advice!(mileage 155,600)

So the car is still a work in progress but should be done soon, and I absolutely love this car. I'm almost at 160k and have only had a speed sensor (on transmission) malfunction/go out, and had to get the steering lock replaced. I am currently running the stock motor, and have done all the work/upgrades myself, as well as testing out the "trial and error" fabrication work. I love my car, and take great car of it, and it runs as if it were brand new, anyways (sorry to get off topic) my question pertains to bucket/racing seats. Now if I were to remove the stock seats, what kind of problems would I encounter? I imagine I would have error codes become present due to the airbags and other sensors being disconnected, so are there any type of relay, or dummy sensors to use to avoid these? Any input is greatly appreciated!


Will post more recent photo of engine.
