The interior on a Sunbird (average) comes to about 100lbs.
Taking out sound deadening tar is another 20-30 sometimes, as well as seam sealer (re-apply caulking properly to keep seal)
The dash weighs about 30 lbs as well, you can remove most of it and replace it with FG parts.
Most of the weight on a J-Car chassis is from the suspension components. Either custom make or replace most of them with aluminum, and you're golden.
