like Big money said , loose thoose accesorys. you would be amazed at the weight of the stock altenator bracket and idler pully , the power steering pump , all ac stuff.
Jegs brand aluminum radiators are nice and cheap compaired to others , move the battery to the trunk also

if you have a cage,,,take out the door crash bars....40# of dead weight...and if you do be patient and go slow...they must be cut out in 6 to 8" pieces,,,and theres some type of foam glue that holds the crash bars to the door skin..gl!!!!!!
