It's something like 32 MB in the final, compressed ISO, or about 20%
of the total image size.  The precise files removed and their
(uncompressed) size is documented at the end of the kickstart file:

  rm -rf /usr/share/man		   ;# 20 MB
  rm -rf /usr/share/doc		   ;# 44 MB
  rm -rf /usr/share/locale	   ;# 60 MB

Virt-p2v isn't localized yet anyway, so all you get is English.  It's
on my to-do list though :-)
