-ritchey pro stem (130 grams) and seatpost
-race face cadence 44cm handlebars

-Easton EA70 X tubular wheelset (1590 grams) with challenge grifo's (32)

In my case, one of my bikes came with a ritchey alu sp 400mm, I bought a different model and lost about 150 without any big investment
Even cheaper is cutting it.
Also, for the OP, what's your full build and budget? You could certainly lose a few hundred grams from what you list, but it won't be cheap. The quickest way would be to get a new frame and wheel set.
