Many years ago I weighed my Dana 60 which has similar components to yours, against a 9" Ford of the same width with similar inners. Both of these did not include the brake assemblies.
Difference was right in the neighbourhood of 36 lbs.
I bet Travis at M/W could tell you the exact number using lightened components. It will obviously be more than that 36 lbs. Probably be more like fifty +.
