Worthwhile weight savings
Since I can't seem to find the other thread, lets brainstorm worthwhile weight savings again.
I weighed my early standard seats. The power seat came in at 35lbs, while the non-power was at around 28lbs. I am looking at replacing these with lightweight buckets to save a total of ~34 lbs.
But what else can I do? I don't want to drive a completely gutted car.

Spare tire and jack are off.
How much weight savings is the AC worth? I almost want to keep it for originality's sake.
Narrow tires are not an option since I plan to do a little road racing next summer.
