1) You're not gonna save enough weight to make a bit of difference.

2) It's illegal to drive on public roadways without a heather under Federal Law.

The heater is required as part of basic safety equipment under Federal law in order to have a window defroster/defogger. So it's not the heater core itself per se, but a front windshield defroster/defogger that needs heat to operate.

FMVSS = Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. You'll notice it's a 30 page document detailing the testing of such systems.

Here's a general list of the FMVSS's, what the Federal Government regulates on automobiles.
