Just add "selinux disabled" in your kickstart and it will not be enabled 
and will not be doing anything.

There isn't a lot of overhead in terms of extra storage to worry about 
AFAIK.

The policy shouldn't be being applied if don't turn selinux on (either 
in enforcing mode or permissive). 
I could be wrong about this however, have you tried disabling SELinux in 
your kickstart for starters?
