An intermediate step might be to depreciate that content by keeping it online but not linking to it from the hopepage. Then build a structure around your new and improved content.
I did this successfully and saw the pagerank increase on the last update after one site had been zeroed out.

I have been slowly removing links without any problems in SERPs. On pages I use to have 40 outbound links, I reduce them to about 10. So far so good.
I'm just removing any links that are not on proper with my content or better.
It really is for the users.

I find its more dangerous to swap out old links with new links. Simply deleting old links has never caused me problems. Of course I have never taken this to the extreme that Pjman is testing. Good luck with the test!

Thanks! Great point about placing new links. I think I'll do it in 2 swoops.
Phase 1) Remove Current Links That Are Not On Par. Keep On Par Links.
---Wait 2-3 months---
Phase 2) Add new links that provide value.
