Plastic fuel tanks
I believe the plastic fuel tanks came along in 99 and up f-bodies. Only problem with them is if you have an aftermarket exhaust then sometimes the pipe going over the axle can touch it, if its off a little, if that happens it will melt it, but just make sure your pipe doesnt do that. I think you can put them in LT-1 cars but as far as weight difference i have no idea.

This has been debated on the thirdgen.org forums for a while. I know some people have swapped in the plastic tank with no problem for weight savings. I'm not sure how much weight you'll save, but a search through thirdgen.org would find you the info.
