Now you need to remove the a/c, heater, bumper supports, door bars, front sway bar, and power steering. And you'll have a really light car!

The back bumper is ridiculously easy! And the front one is pretty simple as well. The door bars on the other hand are kind of a pain.

You do need weight over the back tires. But the rear bumper support is behind the back tires. Removing it will only help.
