Thanks for the info guys! The Rennlist thread really gave some great details.
I anticipate the heater blower removal will save 7 pounds. The removal of the cruise control probably 10-15 pounds.
I have already deep sixed the A/C... The compressor is heavy! Have not taken the time to remove the front stuff yet though.
I have been contemplating removing the muffler all together and replacing it with a Supertrapp setup that runs from the cat pipe out through the stock drivers side outlet. this would be the lightest exhaust I can think of and does not sound that bad with a loss of 60ish pounds. Many track people run SSIs with a Supertrapp coming off each outlet and they sound great!
In the future I also would like to do fiberglass RUF style front and rear bumpers.
Currently I have a fiberglass whale tail and it seems very light considering its size. I would think a steal deck lid would be much heavier than a fiberglass tail.
