Weight Reduction Looking for tips on weight reduction. Already took the back seats out and I was wondering if there is anything else fairly simple I could remove to save some weight. Taking a day off work next week to work on the ss and need to know where to start. Thanks.

It all depends on what you want to do with the car. If its a daily driver, then its a question of what you will miss and what you won't. For a racecar on the other hand, you can rip out everything.
If you can stand the heat, an ac delete is 100lbs gone. If you're not safety conscious, you can get rid of the front and rear bumper supports (I did front only). If you're not worried about the environment, the air pump can go (though you need codes deleted from the pcm). If you don't like people, get rid of the passengers seat. If you like road noise and obnoxious interior resonances, get rid of the sound deadening and/or carpet. If you don't mind **** on your windshield, get rid of the wiper fluid.
Unfortunately, everything on the car was put there for a reason, so the only way to save weight is to decide what you can give up. If you're looking for ideas though, look here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-raci...y-updated.html
