AFRs are heavy for aluminum heads, but you'll still save right at or just shy of 40 lbs if that's all you change.

What do you think adding an aluminum radiator and valve covers(I know it is minimal) would save?

I agree with the 40lb reduction estimate. Headers will knock off a few pounds as well...
