1. why??
2. are you sure??
-> whatever you do, don't delete the damn things first go. rename them, move them, don't kill them first up, make sure you're not removing vital stuff, you never know what relies on the libraries you're tampering with.
on the kernel removal, you can remove MDK kernels (ie not self compiled) using RPMdrake. those you compiled yourself, you can kill /usr/src/their source dir. all the obvious files (vmLinuz System.map) their module tree.
But once again, you are playing with fire. Be sure you can undo what you are doing.
Ok, you don't need to let the system know, in most instances, ldconfig should be run if you're removing libraries, since it will update the library dependencies database / table.
but i'd guess that linux runs that automatically if you're on a 24/7 machine, only coz i observed it crash on that process due to some dodgy directory structures on a USBflashdrive.
depending on what you change, you probably should alter lilo / grub's config file, and update (grub doesn't need that, lilo may).
back up any vital info, i've seen people kill their system that way. If you're careful, you should be fine.
