Aside from deletions, buying stuff for weight reduction is really not cost effective at all.
When the battery dies you might be able to replace it with lithium ion and relocate it away from the engine compartment. Only problem is they don't like engine bay heat or below freezing weather.
But you could get a 20 to 30 pound weight reduction with the battery.
