Default What parts should I replace after driver air bag inflated

Got a list from insurance but looks like they put too many parts in there.

The car is 2008 and only the driver airbag inflated.

I guess I have to replace the 2 front impact sensors too but do I really have to replace the :
- Air bag coil ?
- Air bag SDM unit ?

Thanks for the help,
And ,

WTB those too..if someone has them for sell.

The attached files shows what the service manual indicates as far as inspection and replacement along with the theory of operation for the system so you know what role each part plays.

One thing you may need to do is replace the seat belt. If it stretched it needs replacement. They are designed to stretch so the belt absorbs some of the impact. Once stretched they are not usable any more as they will not provide sufficient crash protection.
