[Gmecm] Air bag delete

[Bill Shaw]

Nice,  this is what I was hoping to find. No worries about the feds,  
they're OK with what I'm doing :-)

BTW - it's also a federal offense to mess with the emissions system on a 
car or truck intended to be operated on public roadway. Nobody here 
would do THAT, would they? :-) :-) :-)

Thanks again guys,

Bill
