This is pretty much the most useful thread I've ever been a part of on the CentOS mailing list!!
Thanks a ton to everyone who helped!!
Also the senior SA I work with gave me this little gem today:
yum -y remove $(yum list installed | awk '{print $1}'| egrep -v "(x86_64|noarch)")
But of course make SURE you uname -a and make sure the arch is right before you do because of the -y flag or of course just remove it if that makes you more comfortable!
Best! Tim

I would also do this:
yum reinstall *
The reason being that sometimes the /usr/share/ items (shared between BOTH packages) get removed when removing multi arch RPMS.

The better solution, at least for CentOS 5, is to add this to /etc/yum.conf
