From my research, the services that I am thinking of turning off are:
nfs (already off) nfslock portmap rpccgssd rpcidmapd rpcsvcgssd
all safe to shut off if you're not serving NFS, NIS, etc.
apci
power management. I believe you need acpid for things like screen saver.
apmd
apmd isn't even installed on my servers, probably only used on legacy pre-ACPI hardware.
mdmpd
multipath device monitoring, would be required if you have multipath disk IO, or ethernet, I believe.
mdmonitor
should be running if you use mdraid or any other device mapper kind of storage.
