Default weight loss program (C3, not me) inputs

For those of us that are trying to lighten up, we should make an official list (or un-official list, I don't care) of how much the things we remove weigh.

I didn't weigh the exhaust manifolds but they were HEAVY.

Today, I weighed the headlight assemblies and it was 44 lbs 10 ounces. I haven't weighed the fixed lights for a comparison yet but I am sure it is over half of the weight.

I removed and weighed the charcoal canister and it came in at 5 lbs.

Vacuum tank is next.

any other inputs? I'll start making a list.....
