You're right about the weight, that compressor feels like it weighs 20 lbs. alone... the whole system ought to net 40ish?... no?

im sure that is what you meant anyways but its good to clarify for people who come on here and may not know. but yes im not sure how much the whole AC weighs but it is substantial.

if money is no object. (but usually it is!)

you could do AC delete and replace all panels on the body with Fiberglass or carbonfiber and that would net you quite a bit of weight. I have also heard that the sound proofing removal is quite good too.
