the power steering pump/mounts/bolts/belt/resivoir/fluid/and all the lines wiegh in at around 10lbs (on my g2). most people dont remove the power steering for the weight or the power it robs from the engine because both are pretty negligable. i removed mine cause it gives a way different feeling for the road. also along with relocating the battery it really cleans up the engine bay and gets rid of quite a bit of wieght off the front of the car.
as for the weight of the cruise it cant be more than 1lb. its just a little plastic box and a couple wires...

for drag racing probably.. i dunno, but i dont drag race my car. from a handling stand point its best to have the weight as evenly distributed throughout the whole car as possible. and ff cars have a lot of wieght on the front.

Well your figures arent accurate either. Where did you get your figures from?? I got mine from the Acura brochure, and they don't lie.
