Default front bumper removal, air bag!

Will there be a problem with the air bag when I go and remove my stock bumper. Should I disconnect it before doing anything?? If so How do I do it.

No, there are no airbag sensors in the bumper. Even if they were, you'd be fine. The 'sensors' are accelerometers, and will only set off the airbag under extreme acceleration / deceleration. They're buried where they're not easy to come across and do any harm to the system.
