Any extra stuff in the center console the glovebox and stuff like that is a good spot to lose weight as well even thoroughly cleaning out the car will reduce weight.
Radios can be swapped for lighter ones and if you have the stock one there will probably be more features too on even a $50 dollar one. You can take off any plastic side moulding/trim if you have it.
Depending on how far you want to go there is also lighter shift knobs, boots, and or replacing the shifter itself with a lighter one e.g short shifter, trimming down hvac control knobs, lighter steering wheel, lightweight seats, and finally how is your ECU and cruise control module mounted?

No cruise control, and I have no idea about the ECU, I'm probably going to check to make sure it's the FED ECU today. As for nit picking the little things, I'm sure I will get to it all eventually. I do want to get a list compiled though.
