I like to remove the rear seats/pad and the passenger seat. That with aluminum heads and maybe yank the carpet and you should be there.

Ac and smog pumps.

Also to really lower some weight you should replace the front k-member and get some aftermarket brakes. That reduces weight dramatically.

If you weren't such a skinny f*ck I'd tell you to go on a diet. [Big Grin]

Hell, my car could lose 60 lbs of race weight just by kicking my fat ass out the car and putting you in the drivers seat.
