If you take the roof off, you should have a roll bar instaled. Most roll bars have mounting brackets for retractable seat belts installed (well mine did), so its usally just a matter of buying some new bealts, and or using your existing ones.

also be aware that in some states you will have to get the roll bar installation engineered, as well as the new seat belt fixings ;)

yeah I went through this in qld. apart from all the spec the rollbar metal has to be regarding wall thickness and OD your seat belt mount holes in the rollbar has to have crush tubes installed to stop the rollbar tube from buckling in when tightening up the seat belt mount bolts. PITA but not many other options.
