My quick google search turned up:
http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~dwilkins/LaTeXPrimer/Preamble.html
which states if you give article the 'empty' arguement, i.e.,
\documentclass[empty]{article}
it should not print page numbers.

I am about 2 months off from doing my thesis with the latex template, but
I've never done anything with apacite. You might try using pdflatex instead
of latex, b/c I think that deals with hyperref better, but this is a fairly
brazen shot in the dark.
