I recently read a little of your thread and thought I'd answer a few questions...

It's been done and it saves a little weight. How much depends on which manual regulators you use and whether or not you modify them, as they are heavier than they need to be. Figure about a 7 pound loss, if you use the later, cross-arm style regulators and trim a little weight off of the metal supports on the bottom of the windows.

High frequencies are fairly directional, so you may want to angle the tweeters towards you. I once built a system in a 911 that had the left tweeter pointed roughly at the passenger's left ear and the right one pointed roughly at the driver's right ear (LHD car). This seemed to help, as the off-axis response of a tweeter is much less than a woofer, so the two sides seemed more equal to each listener. You might experiment with tweeter positioning (temporarily installing them and listening to them) a little to see what works best for you, before you mount them in the door cards.
