I pulled 380 lbs off my mustang, here is the list:

Removed front bumper and supports
Removed light bar and remounted fogs
removed skirt around lower engine bay
Removed a/c radiator
removed all a/c hoses
removed a/c compressor
removed all tubes and hoses for heater core
removed hood heatshield pad
battery to the trunk
stripped cruise components
Stripped airbag sensors and airbag and brackets
stock EEC-4 removed with all relays and 25 lbs of wiring
Pulled all soundproofing except under carpet
Removed frame for dashboard (doesnt need it)
pulled entire fan and heater tract assembly including parts in dash
Installed 130 cfm pc fan hooked to central vents with tube pickup off headers
disabled rear defroster assembly and pulled all relays and wiring
hooked foglights to headlight switch
Pulled radio support bracket
Pulled shifter boot plate
cut all wiring to console
Replaced armrest unit with 90' convertible plate
removed back seat support frame flipdowns
removed back seat support bars
removed rear bumper I-beam and supports
removed rear axle damper
removed pinion snubber strike plate
removed spare tire + jack + iron (never came with one)
removed tire well plate
removed front bumper and support beams

-315 pounds + tire/jack/iron (65 lbs?) and still going

the a/c elimanator bracket is the only thing that costs money but not if you are killing the ps too

have fun. By the way, the extra noise is negligible and the ride quality is so much better with that extra weight gone
