The chassis of the car is solid like a tank, body wise.
The car is heavy. right around 3,700 lbs. The driver seat is crazy heavy because of built in electronics.
You can do an ac delete easily and lose a good amount of weight.
That also gives you one less belt pulling on the crank shaft.

The back seat and safety belts are clearly dead weight.
The Largest weakness is the engine itself.
You have to plan on fixing the stock BHG problem.
The radiator takes forever to burp.
Lose the glove box. It's 5lbs of dead weight.

Cheap mods.
msd blaster coil ss.
Walbro fuel pump.
Exhaust upgrade.
Iridium plugs msd wires.
HKS MHG
ARP head bolts or studs.
CF hood.

You may want a new timing belt also.
Toyot part 55 bucks.
Radiator and coolant lines.
scuff all metal hose connects and worm clamp the rat spit out of the hoses.
They give rather easily.

Be carefull playing with the crank pulley.
If you crack it. They are hard to find. And they run about 350 bucks.
Find a good online tsrm. I'll see if i can find you a link.

Good Luck. I hope this helps.
