Interesting. I still my blower motor, heater core, and heater box (large plastic thing). I don't have the stuff on the firewall nor the blower motor cover. So I have 8.8 lbs more I could take out.

Hmm...

Nah.. what am I thinking I already carry 30lbs of ballast.

Cool, thanks for posting that. I never checked to see how much that stuff weighed. I just know it all made a great sound when it went into the dumspter ! I kept the headlights in though. I riggeed them up so a wing-nut holds them up when I need 'em.
