Afternoon project? 1973+ bumper reinforcment removal for weight reduction...worth it?

It looks like there's a heavy gauge piece of sheet metal, presumably as a reinforcement, just behind the front bumper of my Dart. I assume that this is common to other '73+ A bodies as well...

Is it possible to just unbolt the bumper, remove this chunk of metal and bolt the bumper back on?

Is there enough weight to be saved to even bother?

Thanks.
