I remove the unnecessary 32bit packages in kickstart %post with something
like this:
/bin/rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n' \
| sort | grep i386.rpm > /root/i386.pkgs-tmp
/bin/rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n' \
| sort | grep i686.rpm | grep openssl >> /root/i386.pkgs-tmp
egrep -v 'audit-libs-1|restof-packages-i-need' /root/i386.pkgs-tmp >
/root/i386.pkgs
rpm -e all packages in /root/i386.pkgs
It's not pretty, but works for me.
