When I installed a headless system, I chose the "customize now" option 
for package selection, and then made sure to deselect all the packages I 
could, making sure that yum got installed, and then used yum/rpm to 
remove any straggling X packages/libraries that got installed. If you 
have a system installed already, with X running, just change 
/etc/inittab to start at runlevel 3 instead of 5. I can send you more 
details on the latter, if that is your case.

Hope this helps!
