I was wondering how much weight taking off the wheel pants would gain

anyone know for sure?

You should have gotten a list of equipment with that plane. Dig through the papers.
IIRC, the main gear fairings on my '69 Cessna 150 weighed 18 pounds. Don't remember
what the nose gear fairing weighed 'cause I never took it off.
