Root Help with rooting and removing pre-installed apps

Hi guys!
Since the free internal memory on my Ace is getting smaller and smaller, I've decided to remove some of the pre-installed apps that were already on my ace when i bought it. I would very much like to move some of them to my sd, and delete others.

I know I need to root my phone for that. Here are my questions:

1) I've seen many posts here about rooting ace with 2.3.3. Mine is 2.3.4, is it the same process?

2) I would like to root it for this purpose only, and then unroot it. what's the easiest way to do this? (no roms and stuff like that..)

3) does anyone here knows how i can force those apps to move to my sd or uninstall them? I don't mind uninstalling stuff like google search, voice search, maps and gmail and then re-install from the market, but what do i do with those pre-installed that i can't find on the market (or will cost money)?

Thanks!

This is all pretty straight forward stuff:-

1) same process

2) unrooting the easy way us search this forum for unroot.zip and flash in the same way you flashed the update.zip to root it.

3) install link2sd from market. Partition your sd card (back it up first) load up link2sd and it will allow you to move allmost all apps to the second partition on your SD. you can uninstall system apps (bloatware) too by long pressing on the app in the list.

Job done!
