Default Cobra 01 weight reduction

Hey,
I am wondering what would be the best way to cut weight on my Cobra, I know it is an easy way to increase performance. I am always up for something drastic.

Take anything out of the interior that will unbolt. Move the battery to behind where the passenger seat goes. Remove the A/C, radio.

swap to a solid axle and you'll drop about 100 lbs.. I don't actually advise that for a daily driver though.
