    My 72 V-8 Grabber clocked in at 2840 without me in it. I have since added a 9" rear (40+ LBS more) and sub/connectors (40) But also swapped the C-4 for a 5-Speed (-35 LBS) and am going to aluminum heads (-40). Took out the A/C too. Dont know how much that removed. Does any one here know how much the A/C system weighs?

    I just lifted and put in the trunk of my '72 GT the entire heater/ac unit. It weighed approx. 35-40 lbs.

    Not really sure, I know the fuel tank sets off to the left, and my weight, Nitrous bottle and brackets, It also wears the left tire more than the right:hmmm:.
