I'm in the middle of doing some weight reduction on my 1GB and wanted to know what is okay to remove that I don't need, so far I removed the, Emission's,A/C,front bumper support, I want to make it light as possible as a DD/weekend track
 
Well if it is you daily driver then you technically need to follow emission laws. You will need the emissions set up for passing inspection.

I also see that you are in California, how do yo plan on passing emissions with the emissions parts on your vehicle (charcoal, pvc, egr etc).

I would be careful with removed the front cash bumper for weight reduction in a DD. You are reducing the ability for you survive/reduce damage in a front crash. I would think its also illegal.

for the rest, here you go buddy:
