+1

And with a mild drop, and a good offset, you wont have to modify anything.

Any bracket you see that's not in use, grind it off. Weight savings. I'd even hit the ones that are in use that don't really look important . You might lose a quick 50+ lbs that way!

Im gonna pass on grinding off random objects that dont cause any problems. I can take my AC out and save weight but that does not make it a good idea.
