is it a problem disconnecting the battery? Or is it just a pain in the butt?

It'll reset your tripometer and a few other things, not a big deal. But you can just hang the airbag off to the side or disconnect it. It makes me nervous working with an airbag in my face whether the battery is connected or not. Just be aware that if you turn the key with the airbag disconnected it'll throw the airbag light on the dash - so if you can't reset it with a Foxwell or PA Soft or something, it'll be there for a while.
