Sport Compact Car compared a KA24E to an SR20DET, though.  The KA24DE is somewhat heavier than the SOHC, not by a huge margin though (20lb max).

Going auto -> manual drops 40-45lb. but doesn't affect weight distribution much if at all since all the weight is near the middle of the car.

Weight distribution of a stock S14 SE 5-speed is about 55/45; an auto might be more like 56/44.

If you swapped in an SR with a 5 speed and pitched the A/C you could easily remove 100lb. total, about 70-80lb of that over the front wheels.
