Default Weight reduction passing Tech

What weight reduction mods, can be done to pass tech at some of the more strict race tracks, or be NHRA legal and pass tech and such

What can be removed? what is a must be in the car? say from 8.99-12.99 range. Can the Air bags be removed? Actual bumpers? inner front wheel wells? What can be removed? what do you HIGHLY recommend being removed and what is a NO NO! I need to do all i can to make my project car lighter, and wouild like to know what.

I ask because today we gutted the hell out of my friends 81 Camaro and took out the front bumper and i dont believe it has air bags either and i am unsure if itll be ok to run @ NHRA events so let me know please

Thanks

Take anything you want out, all you need is a seat and a seatbelt. If you're running 11.50s or quicker, you'll need a bar, that's it.
