You would likely spend more on cables to reroute the battery than what you save on the battery cost. The stock battery cables are good size copper cables - if it was safe to use smaller cables I'm sure they would - copper is EXPENSIVE.

Interstate Battery did have a regular 140R group flooded lead-acid battery but it was $210. I can't see saving $40 to go with the regular wet cell to only then have the car undercharge the battery because AGM batteries bulk charge at 13.7 V while flooded batteries charge at 14.5 V.
