Default Shaved some weight!!

Did some weight shaving today! Removed the rear seatbelts... No one ever rides in back anyways... Removed the spare tire and jack... Also the previous owner didn't know how to wire any of the speakers right so when I hooked up my radio today the speakers wouldn't work... So.. I took out all 4 speakers, radio, and every last inch of radio and speaker wire that was in the car! There was atleast 10lbs of wire alone... Next will be the removal of the cruise control assembly since the cruise doesn't work anyway... Does anyone know exactly where it's located and what all I need to do to remove it?
