Default losing weight

I have a 1983 street driver that I want to make as lean as possible. It is a fair weather summer driver so I am not worried about comforts. Not quite willing to give up the power windows though. By doing the ac delete and all underdash climate control removal how many lbs can I expect to lose?

compressor is the biggie. about 30 pounds or so. condensor is maybe another 5. misc lines and a/c box maybe 10.

i had my 83 weighed at 2610 or so with 1/4 tank of gas and me (185lbs) in it. i had removed entier a/c, washer system, entire emissions system, all the interior, both seats replaced, sunroof glass replaced with a lexan piece.

i actually removed my power windows cause it was more of a electrical reliability problem heh.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to get rid of about 100lbs with getting rid of all climate control. The way I figure it every 100lbs you lose equates out to about 12 more HP.
