I got my car professionally corner balanced but I wanna take out the passenger seat all together and also put in a lightweight driver seat. Will this effect the corner balance and throw everything off? Trying to drop weight.

Any weight change of the car will effect the corner balance. But, we are amateurs here, both in car prep and driving skill. So you are talking a few tenths of a percent change in the cross weight with these changes which is much less than you can likely feel, and much less than would be changed from fuel load, or passengers.

The benefit of weight reduction far outweighs any change in the corner balance.
