Weight and Balance - Engine and prop calculations

Does anyone have any information regarding the stock factory numbers for weight and balance calculations for the stock setup? I'm specifically trying to run some numbers for what a lighter prop and / or engine would do to CG. I found the info for moving a battery.

I am looking at potential weight savings on an engine but need to know what it would do to CG. I'd like to just get the numbers, not anecdotal stories or experience. No offense, but I need to actually calculate some things. I know burning fuel, moving the battery, etc. effects as well as interior and extras like AC will all affect the CG.

I'm reaching out to Van's as well for the info, but figured I'd try here first.
