Yes. If you look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server there should be
a list of environment variables that are accepted and in
/etc/ssh/ssh_config on the client there should be a similar list of
ones that are sent. (Actual location and name of the files depends on
your particular distros.)

A more elegant (dare I say proper) way of doing it is to create a
~/.ssh/config on your client and put in it a modified 'SendEnv' for
that host (or don't have a SendEnv if you don't want any env variables
sent).

You can see what variables are being passed if you use the '-v' option
to ssh - and you can see if they are being accepted with '-vv'.

You can also, if you want, modify sshd_config on the server to not
accept the LANG and LC* variables.
