If you use a packaging system (e.g., RPM, Debian) then you would have 
several subpackages that contain only the files you need for specific 
tasks.  (If you don't, download the packages anyway to find out how the 
files are split up.)  Manually deleting particular files is a risky 
process, and it depends on your configuration options, operating 
system, and what you want to do with the system later on.  I would 
advise against it, since no one is going to want to help you later on 
if it turns out that you have manually butchered your system.
