If the Z28 seat is like the other 5th Gens, I don't see how the upper and lower cushions can be considered structural support. Now on the other hand, the bracket you unbolted and removed, that can certainly be structural support since it spans a good portion of the width of the car and could stiffen the sheet metal shown in your picture. I agree with Olblue75 and make something lighter, but bolt it into the same place as the original steel bracket.
