Some ideas on what to remove:
-Sound deaden
-completely remove A/C and heater core units
-radio and components
-de-pin extra wiring (side sign marker, turn signals, radio and A/C, and so on)
-Stock fuel tank, cut-out spare tire and fill it with a flat piece of sheet metal
-Bumper supports. You can replace them with homemade crash bar made out of aluminum.

Some chassis stiffening ideas:
-3M poly-foam in rocker panel and other location (light weight and fire resistant too)
-Front and Rear Strut bars /or custom strut bar in the front that would connect to your cage and firewall

Reliability and safety ideas:
-Race buckets, I prefer ones that don't recline.
-4/5 point racing harness
-Cage
-Ducting (brakes, radiator, oil cooler)


Good Luck on the build, can't wait to see how this turns out
