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

Just an update- the backing plate on the bumper for a ‘73 Dart weighs closer to 15lbs...I haven’t gotten the scale out but it’s not even close to 40lbs, guys. Maybe this is different foR later cars?

In any case, it’s well worth removing dead weight from the nose but don’t count on a huge chunk of weight here...interestingly, this offsets the weight of my new battery relocation (using 0 Gauge cable) kit almost exactly.
Yes a 73 plate is way lighter than a 75 or 76. Not sure if a 74 is more like the 73, 75, or 76
