Depends if you're trying to keep the car within certain class rules.

cross drill the ECU and connecting rods, dont use coolant or oil, run the motor dry, rmove the insulation from sparg plugs, dont run a valve cover, since motor is dry forget about it splashing, replace all windows with a sheet of saran wrap. remove all interior and sit on milk crate, dont foeget to add speed oles to body, just take a drill and go nuts, wont pass tech though if not done in a creative fashion....what else have i forgot.
oh yeah remove steering wheel and replace with vise grip pliers.
most importantly do an archive search.

Re: weight reduction (marcussmith26)
There are two ways to look at weight reduction.... the ghetto way and the expensive way.. Class rules usually make you go towards the expensive way. Start by getting rid of everything you don't need. Then analyze whats left and think about replacing fat parts w/ lean parts. 
It's pretty easy actually, just use your brain and do some searching to get the ball rollin'.
