This weekend I removed the majority of the A/C components. I was able to shed 39 pounds. I now have much more room under the hood and I can now use a larger oil filter also.
I also took all the seats out and cleaned them and the carpet. I left the rear seat out and started on building a platform. I started out by tracing the existing carpet onto a piece of wood. I then traced the rear seat on a piece of wood. I finally used 3 separate pieces in the end. The piece that covers the spare tire has a small strap that makes it easy to lift up. I think it turned out pretty good and it is light weight.
