For those of you who think about this whole weight reduction thing, is there something in the engine bay that isn't available but definitely needs a lighter version made? Like, is the PS or Alternator bracket exceptionally heavy?
Looking for new things to make lighter/better/stronger and this is probably the crowd that has ideas about it.

Or make a ACD pump relocation "kit" with some nice brackets for the passenger side trunk aft of the wheel.

Just delete the intake manifold support. It's not needed.

The stock IM is light. Guys run the heavy sheet metal and bigger aftermarket cast mani's with phenolic spacer and no support. It's fine..

Since we have to have a "working" HVAC system per se, to run our class at Grid Life, you have to sometimes think "in the box" so to say, to cut weight. I kept the heater core and have the system set up to run defrost. Shaved 5 1/2 pounds out of everything not needed in the evap case by itself. Will more then likely be able to shed some more from the blower housing.
