How about the spare tire, jack, etc. That could shave off some weight for you.

Racing seats (50 lbs)
Smaller racing battery (20 lbs)
Cheap Taiwan hood (30 lbs)
Aluminum radiator (25 lbs)
Remove interior insulation, back carpeting, floor mats (25 lbs)
Remove heater/defroster (40 lbs)
Remove stereo, speakers, antenna (25 lbs)
Lighter wheels/tires (60+ lbs)

That's 275 lbs right there...
