Probly pretty close without a driver. I have a similar setup with 12 bolt, CM Rear Susp., CM 6-point, no AC, iron block, 4l60, kirkeys, rear drag brakes, greg welds, and with a 200lbs driver I'm at 3550.

I was gonna guess a little lighter than the other guys I'm gonna say 3000lb because my 98 TransAm weighs 3100 with a iron block and a 9" with similar setup as yours

im also taking all heat shields, door crash bars, and pretty much anything that doesnt take away from the appearance or is highly noticeable

i found a bracket that does away with the pulley tensior and along with a ewp drops 12.4 lbs..

K memeber and upper and lower a arms might be in my budget also....
