Looks like bars, wheels and cranks are where you have extra weight. Wheels will make the most noticeable difference while riding, but you'll have to make sure that they're still strong enough for you.
Bars and cranks should be easy to shave a bunch off the bike.

Holly Rollers are heavy. Go schwable table tops or at least geax booze light. You will drop A LOT.

Also cranks - depends whether you want mtb or bmx. For mtb I'd go SLX or Atlas if you want more beefy. For bmx Dartmoor Thorn.

Your wheels are heavy. Will you use a single speed or driver? Dartmoor riders are good dirt rims if you don't smash them like crazy. I use them and they are fine.

As for seatpost/stem - is it pivotal? I think you can loose some weight here.

why do you want a light street bike?

Because it's easier to do 360's, tailwhips etc? All the pros I know want their bikes light. Why do they want it?

Get a pair of Intense MK2. You'll almost cut half the weight from the Holy Rollers. And by means of the inertia momentum, you'll be shaving grams where you can feel them most (it's said that each gram you take from the wheels equals three taken from the frame).
