Default A-Arm Options

I am consulting with a friend who is working on a 1976 Corvette. He is upgrading quite a few systems and is working on lightening certain areas. One area of interest to him is the A-arms. My question is, are there lighter than stock options that do not necessarily extend to the fully adjustable hex tube options. He is not planning on racing. He is inquiring specifically about aluminum A-arms to replace the steel A-arms. Thank you fine folks.
