Gaining weight is the problem. RI's are more forgiving when loosing weight. In theory, in loosing weight, the robot can become unsafe. However, if you remove an arm, and your robot is still safe, most likely no one will complain.
Best to weigh with all the parts you want (assuming you can fit it all into the 120# limit), and when you are inspected, show all possible configurations to the RI. Then, you are free to use whichever of the configurations you want.
If all the variations do not fit into the 120# limit, then you need to reinspect whenever you add parts from what was not in the 120# set when you last weighed.
