You would want to custom fab a hole in your new pillar the same as the stock little round "airbag" thing, for optimum results. Otherwise, the bag may not deploy properly, and do more harm then good.
Your best bet would be to use or find a place that will use your stock pillar and fab two more slots in it for pods.

If, for whatever reason, it did come off, the way the airbags are located, the pillar would most likely swing out and over towards the windshield (kinda like a big left turn).
But like someone else said, if you're driving down the road and guy in a Mack truck runs a light and slams into you, that little gauge pod is probably the least of your worries.

actually, the airbag doesnt deploy from the little round hole, it pushes the pillar out of the way and comes right toward you, the pillar should go toward the windshield
