When you connect your device to iMac for syncing, click on your device in iTunes. In the right frame in iTunes select 'Apps' from the list of tabs. Uncheck 'sync all apps' and now you can pick and choose the apps you want on your device, instead of iTunes automatically syncing the apps.

Sorry I meant the following:
1) Uncheck "Automatically Sync New Apps"
2) Leave "Sync Apps" checked
3) In the displayed App List uncheck the apps you don't need on your device.
4) Hit the "Apply" button.

This will remove the apps you don't need on your device and make sure new apps are not automatically synced to your device when you connect to iTunes. You will have to manually check the app you want to sync to your device.
