Stock weight is about 3500lbs. You can do the typical stuff to remove weight. Spare tire, racing seats, remove AC, EGR, AIR, blah blah blah. Or you can get real crazy and get a lightweight fibreglass hood, remove carpet, rear seat, comfort features such as auto windows, t-tops...

Keep in mind that weather should NOT matter, dynos almost always have SAE correction factors built in to the numbers.
What I have done to reduce weight: removed back seat/belts, spare tire/jack, insulation from under the carpet, AIR (the emissions thing, NOT a/c), EGR, front sway bar, washer fluid reservoir, all heat shields that were above the stock exhaust, duals instead of cat-back, old muffler mount.. Little over 100 pounds lighter and better weight transfer (!FSB).
