Default Write up for !washer fluid?

Is there a writeup for removing the windshield washer resevior? It's been empty since I bought the car a few months ago so I might as well save the weight. Do I have to remove the bumper cover and foam? I still have the stock SS hood and AC.

I just had to remove my bracket to where the hood latches. Then I unbolted it and it came right out.

Thank goodness. I want to lose weight, but I don't want to work too hard to do it. Just like real life.

I pulled mine today. I have no bumper supports up front though. It pretty much popped right out. I also took the plastic panels behind it. Now the air will hit the radiator directly. Felt faster (air goes straight into the intake now). But I’m sure my mind is just playing games with me

I undid the 3 clips at the bottom of the facia. I then took out the 4 clips holding in the bottle. I unplugged the pump. Got underneath and pulled it down through. Took ~5 minutes. Only save a couple of pounds since it was already empty.
