Question Delete files from sparseimage?

Sorry if this is elsewhere, I did a quick search and couldn't find it.

I upgraded to Leopard, but I want to hold onto my tiger backup for a while, just in case. I back up to a NAS, so my backup is a sparseimage file. I want to keep the backup, but don't want all the big stuff in it (I'm running out of room on the NAS). For example, I want to delete all my music/movies and my parallels virtual machine.

Is this as simple as mounting the image and deleting files? Will that cause problems mounting in the future? Will it still be bootable?

Thanks!
