A/C delete and relocate the battery to the trunk. Also, take out the back seats... but leave the seatbelts, its better to sit back there anyways without the seats (i'm not kidding either).
Also look into race seats. If your going all out, take out the carpet and foam or at leats the foam... weighs something like 30lbs. Bumper supports are good for weight reduction but i would never do it.
There is a bunch more and a good post over in the drag racing section witha list of all kinds of free things to do, then about 4 pages of replys with other stuff. Here is the link.

While youre taking out the bumper supports, go ahead and get rid of the calipers and rotors...theyre heavy.
