My kickstart installation does 397 RPM packages.
A manual installation does 217 RPM packages.

My kickstart installation uses only an OS repository; no updates, epel
or anything like that for this test.

This repository was created using rsync and centos 6.5 iso.

Kickstart package list:
%packages
@core
@server-policy
@workstation-policy

Which is the same as choosing the "minimal" installation type during
manual anaconda as shown in the /root/anaconda-ks.cfg file after the
manual installation is completed.
