Exclude part(s) from model mass properties

How do you exclude part(s) in an assembly from being used in the total calculation for mass properties? I have a very simple ass'y with four parts and need to exclude 2 of the parts from the mass properties. I then show the mass prop. in a text box in the drawing sheet.

Thanks.

Either

1.Set the parts BOM structure as reference this will remove them from the BOM and may remove the mass, i'm not sure.
Or
2. Override the mass properties in the iproperties and set to zero, this will work for sure.
