Go get it weighed. Next time I happen to drive by a weight station on the highway, I'm stopping in.

Can you do that? Just pull into one of those truck scale stops on the freeways and weigh your car? Would be kinda funny seeing a camaro in line with a bunch of semi's

As long as they're not busy they might oblige, or you could try making friends at a local trucking company that has its own scale.

fog light 5 lbs
all engine hardnes harness? 10-15lbs

700r4 (i have a th350) 70lbs? I don't know how much a th350 weighs
radio console3 lbs since stereo was already removed
windsheld water tank ~1lb (empty)
iron heads (i have corvette #128 heads) no weight change
timechaing (i have gear drive) probably no change
how much weight have my car now???? whatever stock was minus the above stuff
dropped about 200lbs off, not too bad.

Drop another 30-35lbs off for the aluminum heads then.

I'd convert to a dual electric fan setup if you can find one in a boneyard. It'll take some drag off the waterpump pulley and not add too much weight.
