Not really :\ Unless you want to remove the heater box all-together, though you'd lose heat and your blower motor. You'd save probably in the area of 25-30lbs by doing that

Ive been meaning to do this. just hate the idea of removing it, then having to put it back on if i ever sell it.

could be "fun" though.


How much weight is lost? id imagine 30-40lb just from the stuff in the engine bay?

It's about 40lbs, when I removed A/C and P/S I weighed the components to see how much I dropped, between the two I dropped 85lbs

did you take out yours?

Ive already got the gauge cluster out, is it hard to get the rest of the front dash out?
