It's easy. 4 bolts and 2 connectors. Once you've put the new seat in go for a brief spirited drive and then come home and tighten the seat bolts again. Also, the airbags thing, yes, it's probably a good idea but honestly, it won't blow up in your face. I've done it dozens of times swapping the race seat in and out. You might have to start and turn off the car a few times for it to clear the airbag error.
