Question about 2000 coupe
My dad has an early 2000 coupe WITHOUT the passenger side airbag defeat switch.
I have a 2 year old son.
See where I'm going with this?
Is there a way to defeat the airbag if we DON'T have the switch installed?

Well, you guys would see more posts from me if you were over in the C2 section. 
My dad and I swapped. He got the 2000, and I got the 67. 
Anyway, is the bypass a SWITCH or a permanent defeat, kind of like the CAGS defeat?

You can buy a kit from GM that can be installed to do just what you want. Not sure of the price, but maybe check with Gene at gmpartshouse.com for a quote. Then check with a dealer to see what they would charge to install the kit.

It's a switch you can turn on and off.
Chris, what a wild swap - not that I wouldn't do it. That is, I'd trade the wife's C5 for a C2 and keep my C5.
Her's is the black one.
Good to see an old C5 veteran on here again.

Thanks Patches, it's good to be back.
Dad and I just drove the 2000 to the Wisconsin NCRS Regionals. I was behind the wheel again for a few hours. It was fun......I miss that car.
Once I'm done with the 67 restoration (see here www.vetteaction.com) I'll have to start lobbying for a late C5 or early C6. Red perhaps.....
