Best way(s) to loose weight?

Whats the best way to get rid of un-wanted weight from our cars? I don't want to be pulling out seats or anything like that. I already took out the spare tire and jack, but what else can I do?

AC unit if you have one. Switch to an aluminum water pump and radiator. If you can afford it, JC Whitney sells complete fiberglass front ends, but may not be the safest for a daily driver. Or get just fiber glass hood. Aluminum driveshaft, not sure how much that saves though.
