Few questions for the 97-03 guys running 04-08 seats

I read the write up for swapping the seat, but I am still left with some questions.
First, the 08 GXP seats I bought came with seat belt couplers that are too big for my stock 97-03 seat belt buckle. Will I need to install my factory seat belt couplers? If so is there a write up and what is involved?

Next question is under my seat i count an extra harness that is not discussed in the write up.

Does anyone know what this connector is for?
 


When switching seats you have to use your stock seatbelts and seat belt couplers they go together and aren't compatible separate.
 
yellow plugs are for airbags, it could have a side airbag in the seat.

i put 01 regal seats in my 98 regal, and i have a empty yellow plug under my seat because the new seat has a side air bag, but my car has no wire for it to work.
 
What bolts must I remove to change the seat belt coupler?

The design looks a lot different from the single bolt holding it in one original seats.
 


looks like it should be the shinny one on the far left. follow the cable in the seat belt, down to the bolt.

on my regal, the bolt to the seat back was under that fabric thats wrapped around the seat side, right above that shinny bolt.
