Dave i think the weight savings verses the effort may not gain you much. If i was looking to get rid of parts....anything eternal would be fair game as its just to much of a pain in the a** to get at the condenser, air doors etc in the box with really little to no return.
Removing the compressor, compressor brackets alone is a big bonus as it opens up that right side making it way easier to service valve cover/exhaust manifold.

The only thing i would be worried about personally is if you remove the A/C compressor it puts all the belts on the one side of the waterpump pulley which may put alot of stress on the water pump bearings...but if your careful not to over tighten the belts it may be a wash. Rolling Eyes
