Ideas for race weight?

So far, I have removed the engine cover, the rear floormats, the rear seats, the sound deadener under the rear seats, the headrests and headrest brackets, the giant 30lb bar holding the rear seats in, and one lower section seatbelt with the two female ends.

I plan on removing the spare, the jack, and the material covering the spare. Anyone have any other ideas what to remove. I still wanna keep the front section of the car, like door panels and passenger seat because of the airbag sensor.

How do you remove the rear seatbelt shoulder straps? You know, the ones that disappear into the rear shelf. Is there a how to on this? I searched, and couldn't find one.

The trunk removal is out of the question. Removing the trunk may give me a better 60ft time, but I will run slower in the quarter. I have the rear seats removed, so the air flowing over the top of the car will dive straight into the trunk, swirl around, and fill the entire cabin, since it will be a lower pressure than the high speed air.

What other plastics are removeable? Other than front door panels. I see those little circle push in tabs, do those pop out, or screw out? And will they break if I just pull them out?

Has anyone taken out the package tray to remove the shoulder straps for the seat belts?

Also, does anyone have a picture of the engine mount brackets? So I know what I need to pull off there.
