1995 Ford Thunderbird V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I am using the engine and tranny from a 95 thunderbird v-8 for a project vehicle. The airbags were deployed in the vehicle (VERY minor damage!) And now the vehicle will not power up at all. I assume this is an intentional cut-off of some type. Question is, what do I reset and where is it? By the way, the project is a '63 landcruiser fj-40. I will not be needing airbags for that.

Ive never heard of that before, the SRS (air bags) and the engine management are two seperate systems. Look at teh fusible links at the battery/starter solenoid, there may be one or two burnt. Is there any power to the interior of the car (fuse panel)?

Dome lites, door chime and gauges. I'm now wondering if this a factory anti theft system thats tripped. If so does that need to stay with the "brain" when I pull the motor?
