I'll take some pics and upload this evening.
Yes it was structural for a convertible however with the cage I have I felt it was redundant and just adding weight.
It turned out very nice with it removed but took about 20 hours to do it nicely, many spot welds.

36 pounds removed from interior with just the two Tecnocraft bucket seats and custom brackets/slider which provides height options, as well as rake/incline positioning. OEM seat with bracket is 33 lbs. each, while the Tecnocraft seat and brackets were only 15 lbs. each.
