A/c Delete is the biggest mod to reduce weight. Also pulling out the HVAC Box and cutting out the a/c portion of it helps eliminate weight.
The back seats if you don't need them.
The front sway bar.
Anything inside the car you don't need.
The airbag in the Passenger side of the dash (about 20 lbs)
And also the spare tire and Jack
If you have time or want to, you can always pull out the factory carpet and replace it with lightweight carpet. Just a few things to help reduce the weight of a street car. Some of the over looked areas are under the hood items such as ABS Unit, And other things not used regularly.
Good Luck
James
