Default Weight reduction options??

I'm looking for some ideas about taking some weight off my car.
Maybe we can even make a list of different ideas and possibly break them down into minor/major or street/race ideas. I'm looking to keep the car street worthy so I would like to keep my A/C, power windows, etc. I wouldn't be opposed to ideas like parts substitutions such as tubular control arms, k-member, etc. since they keep the function.
I know there are plenty of sub 3400 lb cars and even some near 3000 so lets here ideas.

Thanks
