Are you sending this to be printed? If not, why is a jpeg at 300 dpi. Reduce that to 150 or even down to 100 and you will drop tons of memory. If it is to be viewed on screen only, take it down to 72dpi but up the size of the image a bit. Who cares how it prints. And the file type you import isn't really important to your final file size. You can import a lower res tiff or the same res tiff and just adjust the output settings in Illustrator. That is what cuts down the file size.
If you want to be even more creative, import the file into flash, trace bitmap with the "pixels" setting and export that file as an illustrator file. Use the vectors and you should be at around 200k.
Goodluck. You know you can create pdf's in photoshop right? If you scan into photoshop, just save as pdf from photoshop. You can probably even scan directly to pdf. My scanner does it.
