Default experience required????

Hello, I'm new to the C5Z but I've dove right in. I'm doing a
cam/LT-Xpipe/CA install as we speak. The question is while I'm doing these upgrade's is there anything I can be doing, as far as "free mods" ?? Like removing the air pump and stuff like that, or just remove s**t I don't need anylonger. Its a weekend warrior/steet-strip car, so I'm open to some pretty good mods. And also I live in a non-inpection state so everything is fair game. So please hook me up with some information so I can get this project wrapped up!!

Thanks...

O, I forgot to say my goal is to also put this pig on a diet. I've already got an ACP heat extractor hood, Braile battery, underdrive pulley, 160 thermostat and still deciding on which
non-popup headlights to go with. They all look like **** but... Its all about the weight!! You guys know, if you take care of the ounces the pounds take care of themselves. Haha.. With in reason, I still need to be able to take the wifey out on saturday nights.

Definitely ditch the AIR system, and if you've got the steering rack down to do a cam I'd install an UDP while you're in there.

Ditch the stock clutch and seats to save some sizable weight.
