No clue, I was a little disapointed. I removed the AC Condensor, AC Compressor, and lines to the firewall. I even held all of the bolts that held stuff on. And it all came in at 30lbs.

Am I missing anything? I just unscrewed the lines out of the box by the computer.

Sounds like you missed the all the equipment thats still sitting in the dash. Yank out that complete plastic box (You will need to make a new firewal plate to cover up the hole).

This is the only picture I could find handy (LS1 Car):

Humm.. I'd like to do that but I want to maintain my heat. Can I still remove some stuff and maintain a heater?

It's pretty simple, just pull out everything that you see is attached to your AC. All they way up to the black box.

Also, I must say I LOVE the amount of room I have under my hood now! Droping the Radiator and fans in was super easy!

I used the same belt that I used with the AC in place. With the AC delete pulley it puts everything back the way it should be.
