but

I have a 98 which has the heavier gas tank, 6pt bolt in moly roll bar, 9" ford, 35lb rear drag sway bar, blower stuff is at least 80lbs more with the big IC and steel brackets/piping. TH400 with a blanket, HD 3" steel driveshaft, etc. I still have all stock wiring in the car, horn wipers, power steering, power brakes lights etc. All interior panels are in and the car looks decent on the inside, I could put some stock seats and a stock steering wheel in the car and you would never know it was gutted from looking at the interior

How is it for noise? I'd probably do most of that eventually as noise doesn't bother me to much. I wouldn't give up the radio (definately) or the AC (most likely), but I could later change my mind on the later.
