You should be fine:

    avi at fantastic:~$ apt-get --simulate remove network-manager resolvconf
    NOTE: This is only a simulation!
          apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
          Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
          so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
