You may want to check with a lawyer and an engineer before you follow this advice, but:
The Honda FSM mentions an "airbag inflator simulator", which is just a resistor of the appropriate size, that can be plugged in to the airbag wire harness for diagnostic purposes. It looks just like an airbag inflator circuit to the computer, but it weighs a lot less (and doesn't inflate). You should probably look up the resistance value rather than measuring it, because some ohmmeters cause airbags to explode.
As to the contents of my trunk, I have a toolbox that lives in the car an contains only three sockets (8, 10, 12mm), a ratchet, an extension, a few feet of wire, and some needle-noze vise grips. I'm carrying around a winter tire as a full-sized spare, but I may replace that with a tire repair kit. That's more a consideration of space than weight.
