Verdad Gallardo finally out.one ty wrap was in the way of victory. a quick slash and chop and now i stand victorious!!! lol. this is a daily driver. what else can i remove well im in here to shed some pounds? i always have the tops off. and i got a loudmouth. squeaks and rattles are a no-no but louder is ok. all options but ac will stay functional. any suggestions?
You have all that rubber matting thats on the fire wall.. there is alot of weight there.. If your keeping AC and Heat.. not much else you can mess with, unless you want to ditch the air bags..
The rubber mat does weight a ton. The HVAC box is a bitch because it has screws on the inside and outside.
I was upset about the dash. The wire harness plugs on the top of the metal dash support are hard to get out. Have to seperate the wiring harness from the dash before removing from car.
It is just a lot of work.

I don't think it's really worth the hassle just to get rid of the ac evaporator. It's only a few pounds if you're still keeping the heat. I ended up busting mine all up getting it apart.
