Hi Glen,
I have the <a href="http://www.gt-racing.com/" target="_blank">GT Racing</a> parts on my 993 track car. Go to the product listing section and you will find a link to the 911 windows. The front window is about 17 lbs. less, the quarters 8 lbs. less, and the rear 16 lbs. less. The door and vent windows are about 16 lbs. less, and even less if they're left off as on my car.
If you have a sunroof you can shed quite a bit of weight by replacing the panel (9 lbs. less) and removing the motor and associated hardware. I don't know the exact figures, but the glass and sunroof replacements/removal are supposed to shed nearly 100 lbs. from the top of the car.
I have several pictures of the glass and sunroof but haven't uploaded them yet. Let me know if you'd like to see what it all looks like installed. I ended up with a carbon fiber sunroof panel, which is nicer looking than I thought it would be.
