Default Removing Dead Weight!!! Ideas???

Alright, sense it's going to cost me around $2K in order to fix my car after all of my electronics were ripped out of my car, just in order to be able to put a radio back in it, I've decided, that my car is just going to have to be fast. I already have some engine mods, so I figure why not.

Now, I understand that if I want to be fast, I need to remove some dead weight first. I have already ordered carbon fiber pieces for as much of my car as I could find them for. I have a lightweight flywheel on order, my new tires and rims will cut off about 20 pounds from stock weight, and give me better overall traction.

The question is whether or not removing my back seat and removing my air conditioner is going to make enough of a weight difference to warrant doing it? I mean my car isn't going to look quite as cool without a back seat, unless I put something else there, which would defeat the point of removing the backseat for weight loss. And if it does make a difference, then what else should I remove???
