I don't see the big deal with not having the power steering, as long as you plan on swapping in a mechanical box. I have driven several different cars without power steering, and I never had any trouble with them.

Kid - it all depends how far you want to go, and what you are willing to live with. Some peoples idea of a must have is totally unnecessary to someone else. If you don't plan on fixing the AC, get rid of it. The entire system weighs a little over 50 lbs in a 3rd gen.

The sway bar is a debated issue, but if you are looking for everything you can get out of the car, then get rid of it. It's 15-20 lbs off the nose of the car, and not having the endlinks connected will allow the suspension to droop easier.
