Problem installing skype on purely x86_64 system

I got tired of having i386 packages installed along with my 86_64 bit 
ones so I remove all i386 packages to make my system purely 64 bit. So 
far everything is running beautifully. The problem is I need skype and I 
know in order to install it I will have to have the i386 packages it 
depends on.  I have tried yum installing the .rpm as well as adding the 
skype repo to my yum repository and every time i attempt to install it i 
get this:

There are a bunch more "conflicts with file" but you get the idea. Does 
anyone know a way I can work around this?

Thanks,
