Removed dash to save weight did I miss anything

I removed my dash to get to the rest of the HVAC parts. I haven't had heat or ac in years and the cars main purpose is drag racing so I took out everything possible today. Is there anything else in the pics to remove? The car has no cruise,air bags, power steering, ect. What is the clarion box on the side of the radio, is it factory and can it go also. The car weighs 2800 with me and it has 6pt roll cage ect before this round of weight removal, trying to remove another 50 pds, Thanks

The only thing I could possibly think of would be to replace the metal support somehow. I weighed one of the summer and it was like 18 pounds.

The support is screwed into the dash in about 12 places. Maybe something could be fabbed?

Clarion box is a amp for the factory stereo, so you can lose it.

Thanks guys, the more removed the better, what is that box above the ecu with the yellow wire going to it? Also is there anything I don't need in the drivers kick panel. Thanks again

Why not just leave the dash and support bar out of the car? Obviously you would need something to hold the steering column and a tach.

Glassman I race in topstreet class at e-town and you must have dash,door panels,ect. So I'm trying to take out as much as possible but still have the interior look stock to pass tech.
