Who's Installed Harnesses?

For those who's installed harnesses, can help me with the following questions:

1. Did you retain your factory 3 point belt?
2. If so did you keep the existing pretensioner or replace it with an older OEM model (i.e. e36/46)?
3. And most importantly, how did you mount both the pretensioner and harness lap belt? Did you encounter any clearance issue on the inboard side? Any pics of the install?

Question 3 is where I'm having the biggest issue. I just don't see how anyone can fit both pretensioner and bolt the harness lap belt on the driver side. My seat is really close to the trans tunnel (only way to center the seat to the steering wheel) so I have minimal clearance.

Does anyone know can you remove the factory belts without throwing any codes? Perhaps just keep the pretensioner under the seat and clip in a seat belt extender so it thinks something is clicked in?
