i wouldnt bother, mainly because of the cost
also, if you crash hard enough that an airbag would make a lifesaving difference, the older car will have probably deformed enough that you have other, more important things to worry about

Basically, unless you fancy buying new replacements. In reality the new replacements were probably manufactured a decade or more ago anyway, so I think it's best to assume that the pyrotechnics might not work, and drive accordingly.
