Decided to get a little bit more done with the dash deletion sub-project. Stripped the climate control assembly down. I've been using the levers on the ducting to control the output so all I need is the blower motor switch. The assembly wasn't included in the "as removed" weight so this isn't going to contribute to my goal there.

Started at 1 lb 1.55 oz (1.097 lbs or 497.6 grams)


Removed the blower motor switch. I could probably save a few more grams by de-soldering the wires and socket for the bulb and the defrost switch. Ended up with 3.65 oz (.228 lbs or 103.5 g) for a savings of .87 lbs (394.6 g)
