Can you flatten a clipping mask into a new vector?

Trip

I have a relatively complicated repeating vector inside of a clipping mask.

There's a lot of parts that are not seen but take up a lot of disk space.

I was curious if there was a way to flatten/crop/remove anything outside of the clipping mask but still retain it as a vector image.

Is that possible? If so how can I accomplish that?

You could make a box/shape that is a clone of the clipping mask. Select that object and all the paths you want to clip. Then use the Pathfinder crop tool to remove everything outside the path...

Here is an example result...
