Nope; driver's side airbag only.

That one I'm not sure about. The 5 speed is the same... :-)

That sounds about right... Another change I know of is the
airbox; the filter got moved from on top of the TB out into the air
duct. Interior is different too. I think I saw that someone
said the 9.25" rearend was available as an option too. (Or was that
for 1998?)
Still mulling over using a '96 computer, eh? :-)
If it helps, the computer looks like it has the same connectors, and
it looks about the same size. (I noticed this last night when I was
looking at some pictures of Sean Meldrum's engine bay.)
On the one hand, it would seem like it should work, but if it does, then
what is the holdback at MP for the hipo PCM? Seems to me that if the '96
would work, they'd use it for the '97s too?
