So far what I plan to take off:
Front Sway bar
Ac components
Passenger seats
Sound deadening
Muffler
Possibly console-Ron how much does this weigh?
Things removed so far:
Air pump
EGR
Back Seat
Spare Tire and jack

lol thats the spirit!
remove the swaybar and brackets first, youll be able to remove your AC compressor easier. also drop the bracket that holds it to the motor, and the evaporator (tin can thing) and condenser.
sway bar and ac- 50lbs
console weighs 10lbs, maybe more if u have change or stuff in it
if you go thru the trouble of removing the sound deadening, id just leave the carpet out for raceday, then remove it later. i believe the carpet is roughly 40lbs
carpet and console -45 or 50lbs
so right theres a tenth of a second lol
door panels are 18lbs each -36lbs
pass seat without lumbar support- 34-34lbs
sail panels, other trip and panels in the back with speakers and that lil t-top cover thingy -25lbs (cant remember off hand) so theres another tenth lol
that rubber thing under the carpet by the pedals and the driverside under dash piece is like 10lbs together.
hate airbags? i think thats another 20lbs, youll have to check LS1tech in the dragracing tech section. they stickied it
less fuel. 1 gallon is 7lbs if i remember right.
i wouldnt remove the doorbars until u have a 6or 8 point rollbar in there.
borrow a pair of skinnies. that will drop 50lbs and less rolling resistance. skinnies alone will drop at least a tenth
i removed the bumper supports. that was -40lbs
camaro noses might sag a lil though. trans am noses do not. and youll have to fasten a piece of sheetmetal to the rear bumper to the car underneath to stiffen it up.
it all adds up my friend.
then theres some wallet mods like the tubular kmember and A arms, QA1s
lightweight fiberglass hood,
wheels and tires
the list goes on and on and on
