This is what I ended up doing - I didn't see an easy way to get the buckle off as the bracket that mounts to the seat wont pass through the belt slot on the buckle. You would have to take the seat belt out of the b-pillar and slip it off that end.
It was real easy to swap the tensioner/latches on the seat, though it meant all the seats had to come out of the car again! I was hoping the wiring would just unplug at the latch, but one wire is hardwired all the way to the yellow plug that the car's harness plugs into. With the seat out, it's all of 5 minutes to swap the tensioner/latches.
I gave up on the rear seats as they're a no-go. It looks way too involved to swap the latching mechanisms from the backrests, and there's no guarantee they'll even fit (early seats' backrests won't work with later cars' backrests but vice versa is OK).
