Yes, but I don't know how to do that. I might do some research on it tho.

I think you could mount the iso and manually delete the packages you dont want. Mounting an iso is as easy as

# mount -o loop /path/to/iso /path/to/mountpoint

You can also chroot into it while it is mounted: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chroot

Disclaimer, I am not sure if deleting files inside the iso makes it weight less.

I might try this for the next install, thank you!

Just FYI, Arch Linux has a tool called Archiso that you can use to create live ISO image. You can copy the default releng config and edit the package list accordingly.

This is another good looking solution!

You'd likely need to reshrink the partition, then truncate the ISO to fit.
