....trunk (no spare/jack), ps/ac, headliner, back seats, sound deadner (a bitch to scrape off)...that should just about do it not sure on how much weight that takes off but it's a decent amount to where you'll notice some accel gain

edit: wait del slo's dont have back seats right ? me+no sleep=

I just took out everything behind the center consol. that gives alot of extra room in the cabin too. alot of carpet out of that huge trunk, and the tire/jack. I've seen the center console out of one, but you need some kinda rubber boot to help seal the hole up. a/c and ps like was said. maybe the targa rack in the back, but it don't weigh much. maybe the elec. window motor for the rear glass...not sure about that one.

I almost had to bust out the suit ....I'am getting seasoned

I have read where people will cut out he 2 walls behind the seat. The rear window is sandwiched between the metal walls. You have to go back and well some cross bracing in. This is supposed to reduce alot of weight. Not sure how practical it is though.....I am not sure it would be worth it to me though....I guess it depends on what you are looking for.......

yeah those walls behind the seats are freaking heavy..but your right i dont know if it would be worth it either because personally i like how the back window can go up and down..

you can remove all the panels behind the seats. remove the carpet. and in the trunk remove your spare and all the carpet back there also. you could also remove your power steering and ac if you have it. oh yeah and cruise if u have it also.
