I'd gut the stock carpet and put it back in without the padding too.

ASR=get it programmed outta the computer, get a non-traction throttle cable, and throw the rest out! or u can just unplug it since u dont want ABS anways.
If you're new to working on cars, don't go trying to tear out the ABS system just yet. At the least it will involve bending new brake lines and doing some re-flaring. If you're still up for it, let us know, there's a bunch of good info on that available here.

The interior of my car looks preety clean the only thing you can tell from looking in is that the back seats are missing. But I have taken out the following from the interior:
-sunvisors (cutout black plastic covers to cover holes looks stock)
-back seat
-back seat belts
-all trunk lining past cargo cover including T-top holders
-took out stock steering wheel w/airbag put in a grant
-pulled all padding/sound deadner from under stock carpet and put carpet back in
-pulled airbag module from under center consol
-all speakers and padding in both doors
-sub speakers next to back seat
-shock sensor module for stock alarm
-spare tire and jack
-changed power antena to mounted
-owners manual
-change holder
From under the hood it looks a hell of alot more open but the uneducated f-body person wont notice much else. From there I have taken out:
-power steering pump
-power steering cooler
-fog lights
-window washer resivor and pump
-airconditioner
-egr system w/airpump
-cruise control
-heater lines
-stock airlid and silencer
-metal shielding under car
-cut down air dam
-cats
-baffels in ram air hood
Car still looks preety stock to the untrained eye.

I don't have a way to do pics. Sorry. It is a bit louder I am running long tubes, custom y with no cats, and a cutout into a 40 series flow master. I have a poly tranny mount and strange 4.10 gears. So between the exhaust and the gear whine it is preety loud. This is my daily driver with 131,000 +miles. I drive to work alone so it isnt a big deal to me. However it does make it a little difficult to try and have a conversation with someone in the car, but you can manage, for cell phone conversations I have to roll up the windows at least 3/4 of the way up or more depending on the road surface.
My car is a formula so after I took out the fog lights I went in and cut the plastic that held the fog lights in. It now looks like a good place to run a vent pipe to the back of the front wheels for a brake cooler. Which is on my list of things to one day do.

about how long you think it would take to pull out the sound deadner...
I'm guess if i pull the sound deadner ill have to take out the front and rear seats? any thing else ill have to pull?
sorry for so many questions... i haven't done a thing to the inside of my car...
thanks for the help though!

It took a couple of hours. You have to pull all the trim, all seats/seat belts, and the center consol. Once I got everything out I rolled the carpet from the back forward to about center of the car pulled all the padding relaid it then did the same for the front. I just pulled it back to about the center and pulled pad off. There was proably close to 20# in there. It weighed more than I thought it would. Oh yeah you will need a star tool to take out the seat belts.
