It will save about 20#s. That is the weight of the booster. I'm guessing no but, do you still have ABS?

OK, you could sell the ABS delete block and run new lines. That would save even more weight.

It will save you the weight of the ABS delete block. The nice part is that it frees up quite a bit of room. It's not hard to do if you can do the flares on the brake lines.
