http://www.bmrfabrication.com/2005MustangSUSPENSION.htmThis site has lots of weight reduction stuff. I'm not sure how close their quotes are to the real amount of weight loss you will get, so they are at least a little inflated.

It depends on how far you're willing to take things. I saw a lightweight K member that drops quite a few lbs, you could lift all the carpets & take out the sound deadening material, remove the back seat etc. If you're going for reduction in rolling weight you've already done the driveshaft so the wheels would be next but ligtweight wheels can be pricey.
