Taking off the weight, what can I do?

I currently own a 79 4 dr 300d. I am looking to figure out ways to cut weight down. I was also thinking about selling my 300d and getting a 2 dr 300cd. I was told that would knock off 165lbs roughly. I have a complete euro 4 speed change over. Is there any weight savings in converting from auto to 4 speed? I came up with a few possibilities. I wouldn't want to change anything about appearance but less luxury is ok. Anyone got any more ideas? My end goal is to knock off 300-400lbs and switching to a 300cd to knock off 40-50% of my goal is very possible. This would lead to a little more performance out of the engine and better fuel mileage keeping my foot out of it. I drive like a granny normally

Take a/c out.
Euro bumpers
Switch to a 300cd
No sun roof car? Is that possible?
...?...?...?
