The smog pump comes off with two bolts, very easy. You will need to remove the air tube from the back of the heads and plug them up with threaded plugs. Pull the front Sway bar, it will allow the front suspension to travel further and give you better weight transfer, especially after you add the drag struts and shocks. Do yourself a favor and get Polyethylene seats, the alum seats will be very uncomfortbale on the street, I have the JAZ seats and they are pretty nice they have a lot of lower back support, these are the same seats you see in JEGS and SUMMIT.

Jeff was able to take out his bumpers becuase it isn't a street car, well it doesn't see as mucyh street duty as it once did, removing the bumpers or replacing the mounts with the Alum piece will drop a lot of weight but is unsafe for the street.

The fog light mounjts are a ton of weight I made new ones from Stainless Steel much lighter and they won't rust.

I have no idea how vetteatr got his car down to 3080lbs with just that little but done, I am going to weigh mine when I finally get to the track. I am shooting for 2950-3000 lbs.

Here's my list:
JAZ Poly racing seat
no back seat
no deadoner
no padding
no A/C or PS or related componets
no emissions related items, air pump etc..
Alum heads, intakes, etc...
Alum radiator, mounts
Electric Fan
Fiber glass hood
No front Sway bar
Weld Skinnies
8 pt S&W roll bar with X brace @ 85lbs. added

I know I am forgetting things but thats a good portion
