The seat harness unplugs, on the drivers side, by the door. If you have the dual seat harness, all you have to do is swap harnesses.

I looked today and find couldn't any. All the Fox Tbirds and Cougar had manual passenger seats. The cars are scarce now in all years. Even within a few days time they got rid of so many of the cars I had been snagging parts from. I did find a 1985 Fox Continental and was not sure if it used the same power seat track or not but I was gonna snag it and try it. Then I realized how the hell am I going to get it out! The seat needs to be moved forward to get the rear bolts out and of course a car in a salvage yard has no battery.

If you have a short wrench, small strong hands, and good luck on the bolt not being god-awful tight, you can usually get a seat out in almost any position. I was able to take the pass. power seat out of my Sport, but it involved a witch doctor, a short wrench, quite a few "f" words and one badly cut finger, but the sob came out.
Yes, would've been a lot easier to put the battery in, but IIRC at that point, me power seats didn't work whatsoever.

pretty much the same deal for me with the parts bird. I forgot to take  out the seat before I stripped the wiring out of the car. there were quite a few "f"in words flying, but it did come out in about 45 min.
