Seat exchange - what happens to air bag system?

My 997.1 has full power, heated seats, side air bags, etc (not sure what they are named), all the bells and whistles. However, I would like to put more aggressive race seats similar to Recaro Pole Position for occasional DE events. My car already has 4 point roll bar in back and would like full 5/6 point harness to hold me in place during track events so can better concentrate on driving.

This brings up a few questions:
1) when I pull seats, it will trigger air bag system dash light and supposedly disable the entire system, thus not good for street use - is this correct?
2) can someone enable the rest of air bag system excluding seats?
3) do normal GT2 or GT3 seats have side air bags such that simple plug/play without ruining the air bag system?
