My 01 s10 ls1/t56 no a/c with 17x9 steel wheels weighed 3280 with me. If you shooting for sub 3k on a 97 i think you gonna have to pull some stuff out of it. They have a thread on s10forums.com under the lsx section that talks about this more.

If the truck is a little heavier than you want then make a little more power.
