I had my entire interior out except for the upper dash a few weeks ago. It really doesn't weight much at all and probably isn't worth the hassle of taking everything out.
The stuff in the trunk, jack, spare, the back seat and front passenger seat are the heaviest items, and they're all simple to remove. Are you going to run with some lightweight small wheels? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Remove the A/C belt. I noticed a big difference in my ST without it.
