Assuming that you meant: 2.6.35-27

Will that also remove:
linux-headers-2.6.35-27
linux-headers-2.6.35-27-generic

Let's see:
$ sudo apt-get -s remove linux-image-2.6.35-27-generic
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  linux-image-2.6.35-27-generic
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Remv linux-image-2.6.35-27-generic [2.6.35-27.48]

Doesn't look like it. I suppose you could leave the headers hanging
around, but then you have 90.3MB of disk space that isn't doing anything.
