Default Two Part Question

I need to replace the upper and lower cushion in the front differential support. Do I have to take anything else loose to do do this ? Is there any tension on this or can I just take the support off and replace the cushion ? 2nd part, I heard a while back that some Camaro seat belts were direct replacement to fit my 79 but I cant remember what year and it seemed like it was from the rear. I need shoulder and all. Anybody know ? Thanks much.

no tension....and you will need to lower it, so on my 77 and my buddies 79 we took one of the long "through bolts" out so the front differential mount could swing down some ....use lock tite....just discovered that mine nut loosened and walked off the job after 1600 miles....
