Default Weight Reduction/Power Accessories

1st: 1994 Accord Ex Coupe PW PL PS

I want to reduce the weight of my car. I had an idea of getting rid of my broken power door locks and windows. How hard is it to convert from power windows and power door locks to manual ones. I figure I could get rid of lots of weight doing this. Could I just strip the motor parts and replace with manual ones or would it be easier to get a coupe door with no power w/d and put that on my car? Am I just taking this too far and should look elsewhere for weight reduction. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Does the DX/LX/EX have the option of power windows and door locks?

you might save 10 lbs total. I wouldn't bother. just fix what you have and drive it.
To be honest unless you go drastic it's hard to save weight in those.
