   I'm thinking it won't be more than around 40-50 lbs, if that.   The biggest PITA will be supporting it while unfastening it from the countertop, and then muscling it out of the cabinet.  If you're not salvaging the cabs and/or top, a few good whacks with an 8-lb sledge will quickly reduce it to manageable pieces (and relieve some agression at the same time).  Just be sure to wear safety glasses, as the porcelain flies everywhere.

   I removed one from our old house a couple of years ago and if it is like mine, I bet it will tip 60-80lbs (felt like 100 lbs to my back though). And it is a bear to manhandle alone.

   1 - measure the board twice, 2 - cut it once, 3 - measure the space where it is supposed to go        4 - get a new board and go back to step 1

   John,

   Think I saw this somewhere?  cut a 2x4 about 28-30 inches wide  cut another about 6-8 inches wide.  place the longer board on top of the sink front to back using the counter to support it.  Tie a rope around the smaller board and feed the rope up through the drain hole and tie the rope to the board above.  You should be able to detach the sink from below, then slide out, stand up, twist the top board and lower the sink into the cabinet.

   all the cast iron undermount sinks I've ever seen are really suppported by the cabinet, not the counter...but they still weigh a ton..
