^^Yes it does. All you have to do is dis-conect the End-Links, and make sure the Sway Bar ends don't drop down.

The other night I removed all the foam in the bumper ,the support bar, the washer tank the black camaro grill, the air pump, and the back seats. I took about 50-60 pounds plus the rear spare/jack so almost 90 pounds of weight I didn't need. Deff not taking out the sway bar. The next thing I am looking at doing is removing the heater core and stuff out of the fire wall and welding up a plate to put back over the hole.

I wouldnt weld a plate over the hvac spot.

I just removed all the interior. removing the dash sucks *** took me 2 hours in my garage were it was freezing.

Iam keeping everything just in case i return it to stock one day.

So far all A/C removed.
Front sway bar, and brackets.
Rear seat, and belts. brackets.
Carpet padding.
Rear speakers(not the doors)
Pass airbag.
Tire jack and tire.
Power antenna.
Cruise stuff.
front and rear bumper supports.
Battery relocation.

The Free weight reductions are almost done.
I need to buy two sets, and different steering wheel.
Want a k-member but may not happen this year.
Should be getting close to 3000#

If anyone has any other useless items to pull out that can be put back easy shoot.
