I just yanked out my A/C condensor, compressor, hard lines, and canister. I'm gonna yank the rear seat soon. I bought a 7.5 lb starter(stock one is 22 lbs.). I got some SMOG legal headers to bolt on. I heard you can save some weight with a tubular K-member and A arms. Not sure how much though. Everyone seems to have a different story. I guess it all depends how radical you want to go. Some people gutt thier interiors too. I want an interior and stereo.
