Which Keychain items can I delete?

I am not a power user but have trouble knowing which key chain items I can delete. The Mac installs some items in keychain that appear temporary. I have considered setting up another keychain to put my items in and leave the main keychain for Mac to do it’s thing. Would my passwords still be utilized by Mac if not in the main keychain.

I think the answer is that if you remove a site's password from Keychain, the next time you visit that site, you will have to reenter the password again and then be asked if you want to save it. It will then be saved on the Keychain, so no big loss that isn't easily corrected.
