The references on "Ardipithecus ramidus" indicate that there are no complete sets of fossils yet, and no one has determined a definite weight or cranium size. However, the references agree that the cranium was "small" for a hominid, and the skeleton was rather short.

Here is one of the better summaries:
Ardipithecus ramidus: 4.4 MYA, East African Rift Valley (Aramis, Ethiopia). Found by Tim White from the Berkeley Institute for Human Origins in 1994. "Ardipithecus" means "ground ape"; "Ramidus" means root: the implication is that A. ramidus may be the root species which gave rise to all of the later hominids. Arms seem not to be those of a knuckle walker, and the base of the cranium suggests erect posture although it is not yet clear whether A. ramidus was bipedal. Still retains thin enamel. Cranium still very small and chimp-like. (Source 1)

Source 2 will help you with the other species you asked about.

Ardipithecus ramidus's height: "estimated 122 centimetres (4 feet)" (Source 3)
