Looks like weight reduction is a bigger benefit than I previously imagined. Hopefully I can get the two middle seats out without issue. Maybe I'll end up switching to a smaller fuel tank in the future too (30 gallon or 25 gallon.)

I also ordered an Amsoil Oil Bypass unit and flushed the power steering again, this time I don't think I can get it much cleaner without after-market filtration (which I don't doubt exists, it's just uncommon.) I'm also thinking of cutting the frozen bolts above the roofline so I can get them and the whole roof rack off.

... Plus there's all the rust to take care of, (above tailpipe, above rear wheel wells, low sections on doors) lest the car turn junker on me.
