Default 00 coupe making lighter?

Some suggestions on making my coupe lighter. The trunk has been stripped so has the rear seats any more ideas?

lose PS, AC, dash, cf hood/trunk, carpeting, sound deadening material, Passenger seat, rear seats, windshield washer fluid resevoir (sp?), cruise control, airbox, replace suspension, light wheels, etc.

Whole bunch of things you can do, just matters how extensive you want to get. You can always just lose the bumpers and the hood too.
