Default Few random questions.

Ok so there are just a few questions I have been wondering and they arent relevant at all, but I just wanted to know some answers lol
ok first, when I do the mtx swap I know I have to get a new PCM, but do I also have to switch radiators? or can I keep my dual fan rad. on there now? Its probably a dumb question I was just wondering.
ok second, will the INDY manifold from MPx fit on a 2.4L engine? Because I plan on swapping and really like the INDY manifold but dont wanna spend 500 bucks on somethin that wont fit.
ok third, what are some good cam gears that I could buy?
lastly, what can I do to my car t make it lighter without removing the ac and ps.
Thanks

you could always remove all the interior and spare tire
aem cam gears
the intake manifold will work on a 2.4
you can keep the dual fan radiator.....its perfectly fine

To make it lighter, start removing stuff you don't need:

trunk carpet
sound deadener
get a smaller battery like a tractor battery
remove one radiator fan
aftermarket steering wheel (eliminates the air bag weight)
carbon fiber hood and trunklid

The list can go on and on....
