Default What mods are recommended for weight reduction?

I have a 2000 camaro ss. I am considering some weight reductions but I do not know where to begin? I currently have mods: 4.10 gears, predator, slp air lid, and velocity stack.

I hate when people say this but, just do a search. First things that come to mind are spare tire/jack, ditch the A/C... guys on here have weighed shifter *****

Go to the drag racing section, and look at the weight reduction list.

Off the top of my head

jack/spare
back seat
quick detach on the whole exhaust where the Y pipe meets the I pipe
passenger seat maybe?
rear seatbelts

That's the free or cheap stuff. Then of course there are lightweight wheels, batteries, hoods, light racing seats, etc etc etc. But that should get you started.
