Yeah, I am not only taking out seats, I have taken out tow bar, a/c with condenser, oil pan cover, will change all factory wheels, back seats, everything in trunk minus gas tank. Assuming that is about 100-300lbs added up taken out.

I think it's pointless because as I've said before the weight distribution is more important than the weight to a point. The back seats come. . . well out of the back. Let's get this thing in perspective. To equal the "advantage" of weight reduction to HP the addition of headers and a tune could easily equal 300 pounds. A cam 600-700 pounds. Have fun gutting.

If you wanted to go further you could get rid of the ABS block, cruise/traction control box (need a different throttle cable for the 04, but not sure if you can do it on 05/06 drove by wire)
Then you can also do an air bag delete, but if you do, and sell the car later you need to acknowledge the air bag delete in writing and that usually hurts resale value
