I'm not sure what you mean kits....but you also haven't listed what year your camaro is. Let's assume you have a 2000 LS1 car. You've already got an aluminum block, radiator might save you a pound and I'm not sure what you mean by drive kits?

What are your goals and your budget?

Have you bothered checking the sponsor links to the side for aftermarket lightweight parts? >>>>>
How much do you want to spend? How much weight do you want to lose? What is your overall goal with the car?
Honestly I know you dont want to hear this but putting money into a V6 Fbody is a waste IMO, sell it and buy a V8 car.
