In terms of your weight loss, and what you've lost, what you've removed is pretty much the lightest, and from the worst place really.
The car is obviously front heavy anyway, and although minimal, lower CoG is always a plus, so binning the headlining, sunroof and mech is a good place to start, and the heaviest piece of sound deadening in the car is behind the dash against the firewall, the single piece is around 8Kg, there's also the tar in the front footwells, and if you've got door bars for the cage you can strip the door giblets out totally as well. The dash itself is fairly heavy, you can trim a lot of plastic from the back, and the front door cards etc are heavy enough for what they are.
Ideally more weight from the front rather than the back, I ditched the PAS system for 11Kg alone, you can also relocate the battery and washer bottle to move weight backwards. IIRC the 205 washer bottle will sit nicely inside the rear quarter.
