Out of a 1975 issue of MOTOR, a british car mag, when they reviewed the '76 EMS, they listed 22 cwt as the weight. That should equal about 2464 lbs.
Just backing up Swede's numbers. Take out those seats and remove those bumpers, and you'll be real close. If you go for the fiberglass or alluminum hood and/or trunk, you're losing more still. Of course percentage-wise, you'll have even more weight up front unless you go with the lighter hood. It might be nominal, though. I'm just supposing.
