Somewhere there is a list that tells how much most of the commonly removed parts of fbodies weigh. I can't seem to find it though, but if someone could that might help you get an estimate.

It's stickied in the drag section.

It depends how crazy you want to get. There is plenty of weight that can be cut, trimed, and unbolted from these cars.

Here it is https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-racing-tech/17319-weight-reduction-list.html.

GM Muscle's right, it's just according on how far you wanna go. Their are plenty of things that can be taken off and not missed but others you'll probably want to keep for a street car.

I'm right at 2900 lbs with me in it. if i put stock seats and a/c back in it i would probably be at 3000 lbs. with me in it. 2800 lbs without me in it.
