Not sure what part of the DSE Quadralink would render the back seat useless? It does require cutting/welding in two floor pockets but that has zero interference with the back seat (on a first gen). The use of DSE's mini tubs will, however, cause you to have to modify the rear seat. Not a huge ordeal but a stock seat won't fit between the wider tubs. I'm running the Quadralink in my 68 Camaro and I can say that I've been completely satisfied to this point with the quality, instructions and support. My car will soon be on the road so I can't yet attest to personal experience other than riding with guys that run the same setup. My advice is to stick with a company that is common and proven such as DSE or Speed Tech (to name a couple)...talk to them, go to an autocross event(s) and try to ride with people running those setups and go with who you feel the most comfortable with.
Another word of advice regarding the rear seat is the use of a roll bar. You'll wanna consider its use and who will ride back there as well as how often. Even with the removable cross bar, there's still sharp/hard places for someone to hit in the event of even a minor crash. As for padding, well that's just an appetizer!
Nice car, good luck!
