Use yum list installed to see all the installed packages, then use your many years of experience to delete the ones not needed but that do not remove any dependent packages that you do need.

In other words, it is hard but doable.

Another way to remove bloat is with chkconfig --list (and to clean out programs you do not need, like cups and an X font server.)

And finally, find / -size +10000000c that may point you to large libs or other files that may help you identify bloat-ware.
