By "passive," I mean the motorized belts on a track that automatically close around you when you close the door; they have a separate lap belt.
Personally, I would swap out a malfunctioning passive belt system with standard belts unless I had the parts from another car. Other than fuses, I think there's not much to be done about a broken system in terms of DIY repair. But I'm not an expert...
As for seats, you can use any seat with a folding backrest that has the same bolt pattern as your current car: 4 large torx. These are on newer cars (90 and up I believe). Because the belt clips aren't part of the seat, it doesn't matter if you use a seat from a car with a standard 3-point belt.
If you can peel off the foam on the fascia at a junkyard, go for it. Seems like a pain to me, though -- I'd probably just grab the whole fascia; they come out fairly easily (but connection points in the rear are fragile, so go easy/gently). If the car also has a good dash, may as well grab it, too. More trouble than it's worth to me tho :-)
