That is seam sealer. GM thought you might not want exhaust fumes possibly entering the interior cabin where they had put the pieces of your car together

the brass things ure talking about if for your fuel pump, as for the seam sealer i removed all mine in the entire car i.e. rear (pictured) hatch area, along the sides up to the front, under the dask etc. etc. Its not very heavy as its just some foam crap but the end result is a LOT cleaner looking interior!! I did that to mine them semi-glossed black some of it and it looks pretty decent actually. Heres some pics from along the side and rear...

ya that stuff is like a foam, and not that heavy. when you remove it yourll have the light primer that looks bad. like ther other guys said. Ive only seen it oversprayed the body color. What color is your car, is it a early LT1 or somthing, has the car been redon? it looks weird that your sealer is not painted?

now there is a bunch of brackets that weigh a lot more

its a white v6 98 camaro roller, it doesn't look like it has been redone, i just tired taking it off its kinda a bitch but its coming off, im using my angle grinder with a 80 grid disk... what did you use Taubr Unit??

BLK:UFO

im trying to take all the brackets out as well the ones that are next to the rear speaker are a bitch to remove i just cut them a lil, i tried to remove the spot welds but there is a ton on those

dont use a sanding disk, it will clog it up pretty fast. I used a wire wheel attachment. Flings the **** EVERYWHERE but takes it off pretty damn fast! I just drilled out all the spot welds and afterwards if you paint the floor they blend in. Then some carpet of um and youll never know there there. But for me its got no wipers anyways so no water for my car eaither way

also made the hole where the rear speaker used to be a lil bigger to save weigh... didn't save much but i think it was like 3 pounds lol

I had good luck with a really thin putty knife. Just useing it to "cut" the big sections out that were in easy to get to corners. very clean and removed alot fast. But dosn't get "on top" edge on the lap joint and corners you wnat to remove if your welding close and it will melt. wire wheel gets in there.... and put a blanket over the dash!! ya it shoots ****... I did my 6point with the dash in, and just some little grinding prep.. shoot a lot of **** in the streering wheel, vents, and above the sun visors. took alot of time to clean then later.

Been doing quite a bit of cutting on my car lately too. I have gotten about 75% of the seam sealer out of it. I just used a regular grinding disc to get the thick of it and I'll use a wire cup to get the rest.

I also cut out the speaker panels out along with some other dead weight.

I just spent the day removing those damn useless brackets with a spot weld cutter. Holy crap that's a lot of drilling. Sure wish I had done this BEFORE I installed the rollbar.

Next up,,,, dash removal and A/C delete.....

I'm going to just get a hole saw and get to that interior panel where the speaker was. Couple different sizes so I can try to get a good bit of it out. That way there's still a little support there, going to do it after the minitub is done.

someday when I redo the cage to a 25.x I'll probably convert to a hardtop at the same time, at that point I'll hole saw under the roof like I've seen a few people doing now. That's alot of work though for the return. Hardtop, will save a good bit though over the t top weight I think.
