Replacing Air Bag Control Module

What's involved in replacing an Air Bag Control Module in a 2003 Pontiac Montana? Can I just buy a used one off eBay and install it myself?
Where's it located?

The airbag light is on, and mechanic says it needs new module - $400. Nordstroms Automotive Inc sells it on eBay for $95

I don't know which side needs to be replaced (can check with mechanic) but I wanted to know if it's feasible for me to do it myself.
