Default Passenger Airbag Weight Sensor Plug?

My new to me 2000 C5 FRC is having a rollbar, seats, and harnesses installed as it will be a track car, however I would still like to drive it on the street a little and will need to pass an annual safety inspection. Since the stock seats are coming out and will stay out, I will need something to plug into the passenger side weight sensor to ensure the air bag will go off and the light on the dash will not be lit causing it to fail inspection. Does such a thing exist?

Unless I'm missing something, I'm pretty sure there is no weight sensor. In 2001, they added a switch in the glovebox to disable it. So it seems it was an on-all-the-time thing before that.

You're exactly right, I had my model years confused. Got the car back yesterday and all is well. Thanks!
