Yea,
it was easy enough to remove all that stuff. You just have to make a steel firewall piece where the heater/AC stuff used to go. It definately removed some weight, although I just bought a heater only setup which weights 47 pounds including all the ducting and blower motor, so I'm putting that back in because not having a working defroster sucks around here especially since IL has cold nights and windows like to fog. It was cool not having any of that stuff to mess with but now I want it back.
Although I should mention that the non-a/c box like I have takes up a LOT less space than the A/C & heater setup does and I needed that space for stuff.

Well it definately would be worth swapping from the A/C and heater style box to a non-a/c heater only box. It will allow you to free up a lot of room and weight while still keeping your heat....that would be the best choice..
