> Definately A/C, especially if you don’t want it. 30 minutes of your time and you can loose some solid weight. Once you get rid of the compressor, the lines, and the condensor, thats probably 40 lb or something. And that doesnt count the power gain from the engine not having to run the belt. (not that its a big gain lol, but its gotta be something.). And I took off the power steering and hated it, don’t take it out…  
> Taking out the jack and spare tire is kinda dumb aswell unless you have CAA. For the 30 pounds I’d rather just have them, the weight is in the back anyway…

Check - keep the P.S. - I thought losing it would be a bad call

Glad to hear the A/C can go - what about the pulley that supports the belt?

I still have the jack and spare tire - they would just be something I’d toss on the pavement if I was at a slalom or track day

CF is always a good idea, but on an inexpensive (not cheap) budget - somebody would have to be pretty lucky to find used CF goods with a low price tag - even though its came down in price a lot lately
