I know you can remove lubuntu-desktop, as it is simply a package that 
pulls in depends... but I am not 100% sure if that will keep the things 
you need to connectivity.
Since you are not on an LTS it wouldn't matter if you removed it, as 
nothing will be upgraded in lubuntu (though this is changing for 14.04)
*Make sure it isn't going to remove the network manager*, but if it wont 
AFAIK it would be fine to remove it.  I have removed lubuntu-desktop 
before (changing plymouth) and suffered no ill effects.
Of course you could switch network managers and use WICD...

Lets see if anyone else will chime in on this subject :)
