Sorry about the thread title: I couldn't resist.

I've removed most of the interior from my 95 Z28, and I'm looking for some suggestions as to what else to strip. This is going to be a dedicated track car, and I'm looking to lose just about as much as I can.

So far, I've removed the seats, carpet, door panels, windows/motors, hvac controls, vents, glove box, center console, pillar covers and headliner.

I'm inclined to remove the airbags. Is this a good idea?

Next to go will be the heating/air conditioning. Anything else I can remove from under the hood? Will removal of emissions cause computer problems?

Finally, the dash is in abysmal shape: the top pad is gone (prior owner covered with a pre-fit carpet pad), and the gas guage is shot. Has anyone removed then entire dash and replaced the guages with, say, autometers in a column-top "pod". Is this even really possible or desireable.

As always, thanks for indulging me, and please don't hesitate to tell me where I'm approaching this from the wrong angle.

Best,
Andrew

After the AC is gone, you just get a smaller belt,

and the airbag module is (I believe) further towards the front.

Remove everything under the dash and you can get a smaller fan for moving the air around.
