the default build adds the mac address to a couple places.
Here is a script I wrote to deal with it, Run before creating the template
#!/bin/bash
ed /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules <<__EOF__
/eth0
d
w
q
__EOF__
for i in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*
do
ed ${i} <<_EOF_
/HWADDR
d
w
q
_EOF_
done
