Thumbs up seat belt swap

What is the most difficult part of changing from auto to manual seat belts. I am thinking of doing it to help reduce weight and to keep from having to have them replaced by Mazda and I just plain hate them. If there is a write up somewhere will someone redirect me to it thanks. Oh yea if you have a nice set of black manual seat belts (the whole thing bolts and all) pm me.

The only thing that stands out in my mind was that there were tabs on the rear pillars that spaced the interior panels out further from the body and I had to remove them for the S4 interior panels to fit.

There is also wiring that needs to be changed in the same rear pillar if you don't want the seatbelt light to stay on. I have not done this yet so I can't tell you the fix for it.
