I highly Doubt 100lbs. Maybe if you were removing the Fuse box and Battery but that is just a relocation.

well i am removing:
all of the wiring
abs unit
trac unit
the fuses
abs fuse unit
all of the lines
actual abs
So far I think im at 60lbs with the abs and trac unit and some wiring left over.
My guess is 80 pounds once all is out.

all the abs stuff is 35lbs tops including the ecu. people on SF have done this and its been documented pretty well.

i doubt 100lb but it will definitely be cleaner.
