maybe light weight drive shaft,
Good luck.

So far I've got light wheels, no a/c, no muffler, no passenger seat unless someone wants a ride, the 5 speed, light flywheel, a driveshaft that feels lighter than stock despite being longer, and absolutely no junk in my trunk. I've had 2 light crank pulleys but they both failed so I'm staying stock this time around.

wheels -16
a/c I dunno, minus 15-20?
muffler 20 or so
5mt assembly -70 or so
passenger seat -48 (can't verify this until my main PC is back online)
trunk junk -20 or 30, I dunno

I'm looking at between 180 conservative to 210lbs liberal estimate for weight reduction. I think that is pretty respectable and all I've lost is a cool draft that is rarely needed. The fb hood I'm waiting to pounce on should put me at 220 easy, if not more. I wouldn't think of removing anything else.
