It is 24 pounds, not 100.

The heater still works fine if you keep the stuff under the dash.

It says 23.5 pounds but I read some where that if you remove the compresser, lines, condencer, etc that it's around 100 pounds. If it's only 24 pounds I'll keep the ac do the gf doesn't bitch but if it's 100 pounds or so I'll put up with the bitching for the wieght savings. Lol
save even more weight by ditching the girlfriend

my girl always jokes that i'll do that to her....she gets nervous when i don't laugh when she brings it up

I think one thing no one has mentioned in particular is a carbon fiber trunk. If I'm not mistaken we have an aluminum hood but steel trunk. Should be a nice weight loss with quality carbon.

when factory seat belts are removed how do you shut off the srs light , or do you all just leave it on? The light isnt a big deal i just want to make sure Im not missing something ? Im running a roll bar, sparco seat and 5 pt so the seat belts are gone along with entire center console .

Sure. T1R Pulleys save a little more than 4 1/2 lbs. (and that's without including wallet weight)
